The trailer for the American film Between Borders based on the real story of the Armenian refugee family Petrosyan has been released. Starring Elizabeth Tabish (The Chosen) and Patrick Sabongui (Black Adam), the film premiered in September at the Armenian Film Festival in Los Angeles. It was directed by Mark Freiburger (Dog Days of Summer, The Trial).

In a crumbling Soviet Union, the Petrosyan family finds themselves as outcasts—wherever they go. Their Armenian heritage marks them for discrimination, first in their home country of Azerbaijan and then in Russia. After finding their eternal hope through a church planted by American missionaries, the hostility of everyday life pushes them to seek refuge in the United States. In the shadow of exile, hope became their home.

Between Borders is only in theaters January 26 to 28, 2025.
