SYNOPSIS
This bio-documentary chronicles the life and times of Dr. Freydun Atouraya, a medical physician, poet, playwright musician, thinker, and idealist. Freydun's greatest contribution is perhaps his least recognized. He was a revolutionary who spent his entire life trying to reclaim lands lost through the centuries, because he wanted to create a democratic Assyrian Christian Nation. Through the lens of Dr. Freydun's life, this documentary will chronicle one of the most unknown and under-told chapters of the Assyrian Christian massacres and struggles during the early 1900's.
