In April of 1915 the Ottoman government embarked upon a systematic ethnic cleansing campaign of its own Armenian population. As a result, a million and a half Armenians perished, while hundreds of thousands were deported and displaced. By 1923, the Armenians of Eastern Turkey (Anatolia) were wiped out, leaving behind tens of thousands of parentless children and homeless women.

This film, Women of 1915, delineates the untold stories of those Armenian women, who despite experiencing unimaginable indignities, resiliently survived the genocide and of all those American, Scandinavian, European and Canadian women, who flocked into the killing fields of the Armenian Genocide and helped save a nation.
