Summary On March 15, 1921, Armenian student Soghomon Tehlirian walked up to Talat Pasha, the former ruler of the Ottoman Empire, and shot him in the head. There were numerous witnesses and everyone expected for an easy trial resulting in a death sentence for Tehlirian, but the trial turned into a judgement of his victim -- one of the architects of the Armenian genocide. Tehlirian claimed to have watched the murder of his entire family, and witnesses testified to atrocities the Armenians had suffered. After an emotional two-day trial, Tehlirian was judged not guilty and walked free. This documentary looks at the genocide and at Ottoman history through the lens of Tehlirian's trial, using archival footage and fictionalized sequences
