‘45 Days: The Fight For A Nation’: Artsakh war documentary submitted for Oscars

The documentary "45 Days: The Fight For A Nation" by British filmmaker and journalist Emile Ghessen – a former British Royal Marines Commando – has been submitted to the Oscars Best Documentary Feature category, Ghessen himself revealed on Twitter, according to Horizon Weekly. 

The film was made during the Second Karabakh War in fall 2020, when Azerbaijan launched a large-scale military offensive against Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh).

“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.
