From the beaches of Rio de Janeiro to a cafés in Paris, Armenia Sings on in Our Hearts explores the diversity of the Armenian diaspora. When the genocide of 1915 forced many Armenians to find a new home, they overcame obstacles to thrive and keep their culture and spirit alive throughout the world. The film spans several generations to explain the history of the diaspora and what it means to be Armenian today. Through food, music and dance, viewers can embark on a unique, cultural journey that includes festive celebrations, the community’s challenges and how younger generations remain connected to their roots while simultaneously redefining what it means to be Armenian. More than anything, the film proves that no matter how far from home one is, it will always remain in their heart.
