In a crumbling Soviet Union, the Petrosyan family finds themselves as outcasts – wherever they go. Hear Violetta & Ivan talk with Clayton about how their Armenian heritage marked them out for discrimination, first in their home country of Azerbaijan and then in Russia. After finding their eternal hope through a church planted by American missionaries, the hostilities of everyday life push them to seek refuge in the United States. In the shadow of exile, hope became their home. Violetta and her family’s story inspired the movie, ‘Between Borders’.
