Spanning 12 years of intimate footage, *The Winning Generation* traces Shahen Harutyunyan’s evolution from a fiery 14-year-old activist into a rising political force. Bearing the weight of his father’s and grandfather’s legacy in Armenia’s enduring quest for independence, he reshapes their heritage of defiance into a fresh democratic hope.
