There's No Place Like Home

THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME is a new documentary by Diana Madison that chronicles the forced displacement of the indigenous Armenians of Artsakh in the years following the war in Artsakh in 2020. Told through the firsthand accounts of survivors and storytellers who lived through it, the film is an urgent, deeply human record of one of the world's newest refugee crises.

Produced by Madison, Ruzanna Kegeyan, Gohar Khojabagyan, and Shant Petrossian, the
filmmakers journeyed across Armenia to meet those who fled Artsakh in a matter of days,
leaving behind centuries-old villages, hillside churches, sacred ancestral graves, and the homes that had anchored generations of their families.

From young activists and creative entrepreneurs to war veterans and the mothers who have endured both profound loss and unimaginable miracles, their stories bear witness to a nine-month blockade, the mass exodus that followed, the cost of displacement and what it takes to rebuild a life far from home.

Yet for every account of what was lost, THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME offers a window intowhat endures — the sounds, flavors and artistry of Armenia and Artsakh. It is, ultimately, a story of survival lit up by joy, and a celebration of a people whose love for their homeland, and for each other, cannot be erased.
