This film presents a portrait of 94 year-old Zaroohe Najarian of Fresno, California, and also a survivor of the Armenian Genocide. Interspersed with her present-day life--keeping house, cooking, working in her garden--are scenes recalling the Turkish massacres, life in a Beirut orphanage, immigration to America, and 50 years working as a seamstress. She poses for her son, author-painter Peter Najarian, who comments on his mother's remarkable capacity for happiness and her refusal to be sad or bitter.

Using rarely seen footage, first-hand accounts by directors, actors, writers, and producers, and clips from such films as The Great Dictator, Sophie's Choice, and Schindler's List, the film examines Hollywood's responses to the horrors of Nazi Germany. Narrated by Gene Hackman, the film features interviews with Steven Spielberg, Sidney Lumet, Rod Steiger, Michael Berenbaum, Neal Gabler, and Sharon Rivo.
