“Armenia, My Home,” a film by Westport resident Andrew Goldberg, debuts in our area on Sunday, March 3. The broadcast is at 4:30 pm on Connecticut Public Television, channel 10 for Cablevision subscribers.

A few scenes and a two-minute trailer appear at the end of this story.

The film is narrated by Andrea Martin, mostly recently appearing in “Murders in the Building.” But most of the narrative is spoken by those with deep ties to Armenia that go back generations, but who only realize upon their first visit the full depth of those ties.

One describes the experience as finding “ground zero for my soul.”

Visually, the film is breathtaking, with scenes of historic structures dating back more than 2,000 years, medieval monasteries — one with the dungeon where St. Gregory was imprisoned for 13 years — lush landscapes, and the modern, vibrant capital city where streets are named after poets and fountains abound.

It is the story of a country being reborn but at the same time facing renewed threats.

Mr. Goldberg has told part of the story before, the worst part. To critical acclaim in 2006, he produced and directed “The Armenian Genocide” for PBS, the story of the slaughter of a million or more Armenians by Ottoman Turks, a genocide that began in 1915.

“Armenia is an amazing country that very few people have been to or know about,” said Mr. Goldberg. “It’s really unlike any other place in the world. In many ways it’s where east meets west, and according to some traditions it’s where civilization began.”

“It was the first Christian nation. It’s a place you can go and see buildings more than a thousand years old and settlements from centuries B.C.E. There aren’t a lot of places like that.”

“I’ve made other documentaries about about Armenian history and the Armenian people, but I thought it was time that we did one about the country Armenia.”

Midway through filming, the story changed. Last September, Azerbaijan launched a large military offensive against Artsakh, a breakaway republic inside its borders but controlled by Armenia. The end of the film tells the story of more than 100,000 ethnic Armenians forced out of Artsakh and their homes.

Mr. Goldberg wrote, directed, and produced “Armenia, My Home.” His most recent previous film, released theatrically and aired nationwide as a prime-time special on PBS in 2020, was “Viral: Antisemitism in Four Mutations.”

He is the founder of So Much Film in New York City. An Emmy Award-winning producer and director, he has executive produced and directed 15 prime-time documentary specials for PBS and public television, several lifestyle series for HGTV and Magnolia Channel, and a number of long and short-form segments for a variety of major outlets.
