I Have My Own Karabach by Giorgi Tbieleli
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Svetlana comes from a mixed Armenian-Azerbaijani family. Her parents were born and raised in Soviet Azerbaijan, their children were born in Soviet Armenia, and now they are buried in modern-day Georgia, where they eventually found refuge. The fate of Svetlana and her family was affected by the first Karabakh war, the Spitak earthquake, the collapse of the USSR, the 1990s civil war in Georgia and the 2008 Russian-Georgian conflict. More recently, during the Second Karabakh War, Svetlana worries once again about her relatives being on the two sides of the conflict and now, as an adult with some experience of life, ponders the questions she asked herself as a child. Svetlana tells her story as she prepares the dish called dolma, the origin of which has been the subject of endless disputes between Azeris and Armenians.
