"Ararat" is complex, multi-layered and deeply ambitious, the only movie from Western culture to confront the 1915 Turkish massacre of the Christian Armenian residents of Anatolia, a part of Turkey. To this day, the Turkish government stoutly denies that any such event too place, though survivors, including American missionary Clarence Ussher, told of their experiences. Over a million people were killed, in combat, in brutal executions, and on a forced march through what is now Syria.

"Ararat" explicitly views the past from the perspective of the present, using the device of a film-within-a-film. Director (Charles Aznavour) and screenwriter (Eric Bogosian), both from Armenian descent, are shooting a historical drama in present-day Toronto, based on an American eye-witness account of the siege of Van.
