My great-grandmother survived and escaped this atrocity. She was 10. I am very proud of my heritage. It's a great movie! Thank you for bringing this to light.

Eloquently spoken on part of Christian & Oscar, the portrayals of their characters were nothing short of phenomenal.
Thank you both for taking on these roles and thank you CBS for your transparency.

i am not the one to cry in any movie. However, i saw this, and i cried. I am Armenian (USA born). I told my grandfather about this movie, and he told me "chris, your great great grandfather was on one of those USA boats". very touching indeed

Tremendous actors in incredible roles telling a long overdue story, exposing the truth about the Armenian Genocide.

From a 2nd generation Armenian genocide survivor - God bless Christian Bale and Oscar Isaac for bringing this story to light along with the director and all of the amazing actors in this movie.  Armenians know this story.  The world needs to know.

It's so weird to hear Batman use his actual voice, he seemed to really want to spread the message of the film but those reporters cut him off a little bit in the beginning. They still have my respect for giving this film some much needed attention.

I just want to, also point out just how important a free and unbiased press is to-

Okay, thank you for coming! Goodbye

This movie was 4 stars. Just saw it and left theatre with wet eyes. I wonder if Turkey paid off the top critics. Audience reaction is 93% POSITIVE which exceeds all films all YEAR !!!!

My great grandmother was raped, beaten, and witnessed her whole family getting slaughtered. She escaped, but remained deaf for the rest of her life and traumatized.

Just watched “The Promise” on Amazon Prime, it is one of the best movies I have ever seen! It is a story of war (action), survival and romance. Beautifully done!

[philmitchell]

Christian Bale at it again with his accent.

[travissmith]

Ummm.... Oscar Isaac was in Inside Llewyn Davis, A Most Violent Year, Ex Machina, and Show Me a Hero.

What a disgusting world we live in where president will not call a genocide a genocide and a whole country gets away with it!! Well done Christian Bale for speaking the truth. One decent person.

[leahyeahhhh]

I'm half Armenian and oh my god I'm so glad the genocide is finally being exposed. To those of you who think this attack on the Armenian people is no longer important since it happened 100 years ago, please know that my family is still SO affected by it. Every Armenian I know is still affected by it. This is why we've never stopped trying to tell the story of the genocide. We're still keeping the promise to make it known. I urge you all to go see The Promise as soon as possible.

[wonka]

Charlie Rose is unbearable! Christian is still talking, let him finish the sentence, it will took only two more seconds for God sake!

[agussiek]

Star Wars? That's all you know about Oscar Isaac?

[levvona.]

1915 NEVER AGAIN OUR REVENGE IS OUR SURVIVAL AMEN

[lanabuehrer]

My grand parents were survivors of the Genocide. I can’t watch without crying.

No one ever brings up America Psycho, Bale's performance was stellar in that masterpiece.
