Stolen Glory: The Theft Of The Parthenon Marbles  (Television)

Stolen Glory: The Theft Of The Parthenon Marbles is a feature-length documentary currently in pre-production about what many consider to be the greatest art theft in history – the removal of 88 slabs of marble from the Parthenon by Lord Elgin between 1801 and 1812, and the transportation of that marble to Britain, where almost all of it is presently being exhibited at the British Museum. The Greek Government is avidly seeking the return of the Marbles. 


The British Museum has been repeatedly petitioned by the Greek Government to return the Elgin/Parthenon Marbles, which are presently the Museum's star attraction. 


Through a docudrama format, and employing state-of-the-art animation and interviews that will be conducted in Great Britain, Greece, and the United States, worldwide audiences will be fully engaged in all aspects of the cinematic journey associated with the theft of the Parthenon Marbles and the contemporary issues associated with them. 

 

Carla Garapedian, an award-winning BBC producer, director, and the first American host of a BBC worldwide news program, and now a screenwriter and director in LA, has written the treatment for the documentary.

Great Confrontations At The Oxford Union: Revival Of The 1980s Series on PBS  (Television)

Filmed in the 1980s at the height of the Cold War, The Great Confrontations was a series of debates that showcased the Union at its most controversial---and its most insightful.


Among the motions debated were: That Nuclear Weapons are morally indefensible between the Reverend Jerry Falwell and New Zealand Prime Minister David Lange; and There Is No Moral Difference Between The U.S and The Soviet Union featuring U.S Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger and British socialist writer E.P Thompson. 


In an era where censorship, “cancel culture”, and ideological rancor, is all-pervasive on many college campuses, The Oxford Union provides a one-of-a-kind, safe yet intellectually-enthralling forum where the best student debaters in the English-Speaking world argue about all facets of the world’s most controversial topics in the most civil terms. With a new Cold War brewing and an ascendant China posing an unprecedented threat to the present international order, the time could not be better for a second Great Confrontation at the Oxford Union. 


The first motion with this revived and well-honored Series will be: This House Believes That There is No Moral Difference Between The Foreign Policies of China and The United States. 

Coming Soon!

The Black Dog of Fate  (Film)

 This film tells an essential story—both American and global---of a boy’s search to uncover an epic human rights crime-- the Armenian Genocide of 1915 and its impact on his family. The story is both a family saga and a universal human rights history.


The story begins in the happy, affluent suburbia of the 1960s-- sports, girlfriends, and adolescent pranks are comedic scenes of young Peter’s life that ricochet off national events like the Cuban Missile Crisis, Woodstock, Civil Rights Movement, and Vietnam War. Against this American present, Peter finds his way through a series of family clues and follows them down the dark corridor of the past into the killing fields of Turkey and the famine-ravaged desert of eastern Syria.

 We follow Peter as he becomes a poet and human rights activist and finds himself confronted by Turkish nationalists who want to stop the history of the Armenian Genocide from being known. The story moves into a face-off between truth and justice and denial and cover-up. At the end of the film, Peter joins the 60 Minutes crew and heads to the Syrian desert to forensically dig bones out of the largest graveyard of the Genocide. 


It is a story of the journey we all make to understand our pasts, a quintessential American story of double culture identity. Black Dog of Fate is a compelling drama---both personal and historical--in which a young poet’s search to uncover his family's traumatized but unspoken past leads him into the dark corridors of a history of genocide and the empowering realizations that come with discovering truth and pursuing justice.
