A Promise Finally Kept

 

President Biden's decision to call the massacre of Armenians a "genocide" brings to mind Bill's movie The Promise.  It was a dream of the billionaire Kirk Kerkorian who provided all of the financing.  You could call it his "promise" to the Armenian Community's campaign to secure genocide classification of the mass killings of Armenians by the Ottoman Turks.

I remember being in the car one day with Bill who said he really didn't know much about the massacre until he started producing the film.  I agreed.  

Kerkorian died a few years ago.  It's too bad he didn't live to see this day. I like to think the film helps keep the story alive.
