"Picking Up the Pieces" is an exploration of the convergence of Armenian American immigrant communities in Glendale, CA and the neighboring city of East Hollywood. With a community comprised of Armenians from around the world, we attempt to pick up the pieces from their abrupt moves from their respective homelands and investigate the bonds that bring them together outside of their shared ethnicity and religious backgrounds. Through various vignettes we define their struggles and attempts to assimilate in Southern California.
