The Forty Days of Musa Dagh (film)

The Forty Days of Musa Dagh is a 1982 American film produced by John Kurkjian,[1] written by Alex Hakobian,[2] and directed by Sarky Mouradian. It is an adaptation of the novel The Forty Days of Musa Dagh, about the resistance to the Armenian genocide at Musa Dagh, at the time in Aleppo Vilayet, Ottoman Empire and now in Hatay Province, Turkey.

Edward Minasian wrote in "The Forty Years of Musa Dagh" that the movie is "a modest memorial to the heroes of Musa Dagh and to the innocent victims of man’s inhumanity to man."[1]
