Motherland

About This Movie

Motherland is a raw and poignant documentary that captures the aftermath of a brutal conflict in Artsakh. Vic Gerami, the journalist behind the lens, immerses us into a landscape scarred by violence, yet filled with resilient spirit. The pacing ebbs and flows, reflecting the weight of grief and the urgency of storytelling. There's a haunting atmosphere throughout, as Gerami interacts with those who’ve lost loved ones and everything familiar. What really stands out is the unvarnished honesty in the interviews and the on-the-ground footage that feels immediate, almost intrusive at times. It’s not just a recounting of tragedy but also a reflection on identity and belonging — it’s heavy but essential viewing for those interested in the region’s history.
