On Easter Sunday 2018, Nikol Pashinyan strapped on a backpack and launched “My Step,” a 120-mile walk across Armenia to protest the country’s ruling party. It inspired a non-violent movement that in less than two months, saw the country’s prime minister resign and Pashinyan elevated to the office. Filmmaker Garin Hovannisian was there with Pashinyan from the beginning and chronicled the wild events for his documentary “I Am Not Alone.”
Hovannisian’s film captures the entirety of what came to be known as the “Velvet Revolution” in Armenia, beginning with Pashinyan embarking on a 14-day protest march, and ending with the resignation of Serzh Sargsyan. Now his moving, cinema veríte film is making its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday, and TheWrap has the exclusive first trailer.
“Today I take my step. I take my step today. My path shines with hope, a new story underway.
