45 Days: The Fight for a Nation is a documentary film depicting the Nagorno-Karabakh war released in 2021. The film is shot and narrated by Emile Ghessen and produced by Asko Akopyan.[1][2]

Synopsis[edit]

The film was made during the second Nagorno-Karabakh war in fall 2020, when Azerbaijan launched a large-scale military offensive against Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).[1]

"Recognising the significant amount of disinformation emerging from the war and lack of world news coverage, Emile travelled the region and embedded himself with local people – those who took up arms to fight. This is their story," the film's description says.[1]

The movie shows how the news media used misinformation or avoided coverage of these events and thereby affected the public's awareness and perception of this invasion and war.[3]

Background and production[edit]

British Filmmaker Emile Ghessen who served in Royal Marines Commando for 12 years in Iraq and Afghanistan, had only made two other independent documentary movies before.[4] 45 Days: The Fight for a Nation is his third documentary which he shot after attending film school.[4]

The film has been submitted to the Oscars for consideration in the documentary category.[5]

In August 2021, the film was first screened in Yerevan, Armenia.[6] In September 2021, a screening was held at the Chinese Theater, in Hollywood, CA.[7][8]
