Between Borders

Having been displaced multiple times, Violetta and Ivan Petrosyan hold on to hope there’s a country—the United States—that will accept them. It's the late 1980s and with the rising conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan impacting their everyday life, Violetta and Ivan abandon their homeland in hopes of starting over. Landing in Russia, they attempt to establish themselves, finding hope in a local church community. Still facing discrimination and racism years later, the couple now pins their hopes on America welcoming them. Instead, they face a daunting court case where they must plead for asylum. Based on a riveting true story of faith, “Between Borders” opens in theaters January 26, 2025.
