'''''Ararat''''' is a 2002 film directed, written, and co-produced by [[Atom Egoyan]]. The film is based around an Armenian-Canadian director named Edward Saroyan attempting to make a [[Biopic]] about the life of Armenian abstract artist Arshille Gorky, a survivor of the Armenian Genocide, including scenes from the 1915 Siege of Van. This stirs controversy because the historical events are contested by modern Turkey; for example, a Turkish-Canadian actor becomes increasingly uncomfortable with playing the role of an evil Turkish military officer in Saroyan's film.
