Mantaray Film

Homemade mulberry Vodka

A creative documentary in production

Over three traumatic years, filmmaker Anzhela keeps a personal diary of the life of residents of the tiny Republic of Artsakh - distilling the taste of life - through war, fragile peace, blockade and ethnic cleansing as they try to hold on to their culture, traditions and connection to the land. She now follows their new unfolding reality: as displaced people in Armenia, stuck in a geopolitical loophole.
