Fully Amplified: When Two Armenians Meet…

Episode 3: When Two Armenians Meet…

Featuring Old Dough by Abi Zakarian
Directed by Caroline Bryant
Performed by Jessie Bedrossian

Food is love.
Food is life.

Ojen wakes up in the early hours to find the women of her family taking over her kitchen. The noise, smells, tastes and sounds fill up her small flat with memories: of her past, of her heritage, and of distant horrors that bubble just underneath the surface.

Drawing on her own Armenian heritage and celebrating the lives of the Bedrossian women OLD DOUGH is a story by Abi Zakarian about the power of memories, food and resilience in order to preserve a culture and heritage in the face of genocide and denial.
