Overview

The Winning Generation is a documentary filmed over 12 years, following Shahen Harutyunyan from a 14-year-old activist to an emerging political leader. Carrying the legacy of his father and grandfather in Armenia's long struggle for independence, he transforms their tradition of resistance into a new democratic vision. As Armenia navigates political instability and strong Russian influence, Shahen seeks to forge his own path while redefining what a new generation's fight for freedom could look like.
