Memories Without Borders: film screening and discussion
Dialogue through Film – confronting Armenian-Azerbaijani reconciliation
Laurence Broers, Conciliation Resources
Chair: Sossie Kasbarian
Memories Without Borders is a unique Turkish-Armenian-Azerbaijani 54-minute documentary,
looking at the impacts of troubled histories on individual lives today. At the meeting point between
official history and personal lives Memories Without Borders challenges audiences to ask: what do
we choose to remember about others, and what do others choose to remember about us?
Dr Laurence Broers worked at Conciliation Resources as Caucasus Projects Manager from 2008-13.

and Azerbaijan. He has also published articles in scholarly journals relating to themes of ethnicity,
democratisation and conflict in the South Caucasus and worked as one of the editors of the first
