I Am Not Alone: Serj Tankian, Anna Hakobyan and Garin Hovannisian Interview

I Am Not Alone: Serj Tankian, Anna Hakobyan and Garin Hovannisian Interview
One of my favorite films at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival was director Garin Hovannisian’s I Am Not Alone. The documentary chronicles the 2018 Armenian revolution which unbelievably started with one man, Nikol Pashinyan, leading a two-week march across the country that ended in the main cities central square. Along the way, Pashinyan was broadcasting live on Facebook and trying to build an organic groundswell of support to show that overthrowing the Prime Minister, Serzh Sargsyan, was possible and they could do it without firing a single bullet. While the original plan didn’t work the way everyone intended, the documentary captures what happened as things took a turn in their favor as the group started using a new idea--decentralized civil disobedience--to try and cause a change in their country. If Hollywood released a movie using the events that actually happened in I Am Not Alone, the audience would say the story is too unbelievable to ever actually happen. But it did, and the story absolutely should be seen to remind every single person what is possible when everyone bands together for a common goal.
Shortly after seeing the movie I got to sit down with Serj Tankian, Anna Hakobyan (the new First Lady of Armenia) and director Garin Hovannisian at the Collider studio at TIFF. They talked about making the movie, how the project happened, watching Nikol Pashinyan put his life on the line, when they realized they were actually being successful, and a lot more. In addition, Serj Tankian talks about doing the music for the film.

I like how Frosty is a nerd ass critic with black finger nails and graphic tees and hes well respected in the cinema community! The man hasn't changed his identity to do what he loves and it shows that his work is respected from all other critics. Never change Frosty!!!
