A branch of the Armenian Youth Federation is encouraging its members to boycott “The Ottoman Lieutenant” because the film perpetuates the denial of the Armenian genocide, they said. The movie, which opened Friday, stars Michael Huisman and Hera Hilmar as a couple in Ottoman Turkey on the brink of World War I. The Armenian Youth Federation of the Western United States said in its statement that the film depicts this time period through “feel-good historical revisionism” that turns the genocide into a “two-sided” conflict.
