Following the Armenian Genocide, a young girl named Aurora experiences unimaginable loss and her life is irrevocably changed. Years later, she rebuilds her life in New York City, where her extraordinary experiences capture the public's attention. Aurora’s story becomes the basis for a Hollywood film, "Auction of Souls," and she becomes the face of a charitable campaign. This moving documentary combines animation, interviews, and rare silent film footage to bring to light a powerful story of survival, hope, and resilience.
