The Road
Follow Roffi Petrossian, an American Armenian from Seattle,
as he discovers his homeland.
“The stories told to me of Armenia, were from people who had never been here, I needed to experience it, to understand if what they said were true. To discover what it means to me, to be an Armenian. That’s why I left everything to explore my cultural heritage. The place where my ancestors came from.”
— Roffi Petrossian
