Mr. Davidian is originally from New York City and has lived in Los Angeles for half his life. He loves working, spending time with family and Rollerblading in both cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While working on shows, news features, promotional and educational videos for networks from MTV and Discovery to the Oxygen Network and BBC, and corporations from Toyota and Deloite, to Sony and Nike, Mr. Davidian is especially proud of the school, orphanage and medical clinic documentary work he has done in his ancestral homeland, Armenia.

Only with activism can there be change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The documentary is produced and directed by Robert Davidian, it shows the birth of activism and the social issues it aims to change in Armenia, as told by the activists themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ARMENIAN ACTIVISTS NOW!
