Bars Media was established in 1993, by independent news producer Vardan Hovhannisyan, who began his career as a front line journalist and cameraman for CBS News. The studio was born during a time when pessimism and despair ruled in a society unable to find a way out. Rather than shrinking from the challenges of this transition, Bars Media began producing projects to counteract these regressive trends, building a bridge between the disillusioned public and the often incomprehensible events around them. The aim of the studio is to create thoughtful, timely and visually beautiful documentaries that not only educate the general public, but encourage constructive social change. Bars Media has had recent global success with the multi-award-winning A Story of People in War and Peace. This film is a humanistic documentary capturing the post war life stories of people involved in the Karabagh war of the early 90s. Bars Media's documentaries have been broadcast on international channels including: the BBC, ARTE (French/German), WDR (German network), ITVS (USA), Cultura (Russia), NTV (Russia and former Soviet Union), NHK (Japan) and the Internews Network.
