About the Film

The film “Between Borders” tells the story of the Petrosyan family’s story of faith and hope as they faced oppression and exile from their home. Amidst the fall of the Soviet Union, the family found themselves outcast from their home in Azerbaijan and from Russia. With the help of a church planted by American Missionaries, they decided to seek refuge in the United States. Their story is one of hardship turned into eternal hope.
