The True Story Held Between Borders

There are times when we feel as if we're loaded down with the weight of the world upon our shoulders as we stand between a rock and a hard place. If you're like me, there are certain points in our lives where we may have felt that we personally struggled far too often with feelings of desperation. Gratitude has been the game changer for me when I struggled in these moments. A change in perspective has the potential to change lives. We experienced the ways a change of perspective has the power to make a significant difference, we were privileged to see an advanced screening of Between Borders based on the true story of the Petrosyan family. Born of Armenian heritage, the family was forced to flee racial discrimination in both Azerbaijan and Russia for the safety of America. Exploring themes of family displacement, racial identity, and resilient faith, the terror of cultural and religious persecution is unveiled in the true story held Between Borders.

The True Story Uncovered Between Borders

Between Borders

"In a crumbling Soviet Union, the Petrosyan family are outcasts—wherever they go. Armenian heritage marks them for discrimination both at home in Azerbaijan and in Russia. Based on a riveting true story of faith and hope set amidst great oppression... in the shadow of exile, hope became their home."

Bringing us into the world of the Petrosyan family of Violetta, Ivan, and their two young daughters, Julia and Olga, the true story of devastation of their lives unfolds. Fearfully living between the borders of Azerbaijan with the threat of anti-Armenian actions paired, with the problematic collapse of the Soviet Union, desperation fueled drastic choices for their family's survival. 

Encountering increasing violence in Azerbajian as a result of their Armenian heritage, the Petrosyan family in desperate need of safety they relocate to Russia. Racial discrimination and harassment continue in Russia leading to apply for asylum in the United States.
