Film "Being a Human. Ruben Vardanyan`s Manifesto" released 

ArmInfo. The film "Being a Human. Ruben Vardanyan's Manifesto," prepared by Ruben Vardanyan's  friends, which tells about his ideas and projects, attracted quite a lot of attention. The personality of the man and visionary Ruben Vardanyan is revealed in the film through stories about him from famous people who shared his life path. The film is in Russian with Armenian and English subtitles.

In addition to stories from friends and partners about him, the film  presents excerpts from various interviews with Ruben Vardanyan, in  which he mainly talks about his initiatives and projects, the motives  and goals that prompted them to start. The film talks about a number  of projects implemented in Armenia, in particular, the "Wings of  Tatev" cable car and the "Tatev Revival" project, the "Aurora"  humanitarian initiative, and educational projects. The words of Ruben  Vardanyan about the role of education, which are given in the film,  are noteworthy: "At some stage I realized that the future of humanity  depends on education, that this will be the main element of the  success of the world. Therefore, as a person who believes that if you  said A, then should do B. If I believe that education is the future  of the world, then I need to invest my time, effort, and money in  education. And in this sense, this is not just charity. I am sure  that this is the future, which will entail changes, including a  successful society as a whole."

"Education is one of Ruben's missions in this world," friends say.  And they consider the most important mission of Ruben Vardanyan to be  that Vardanyan always looks at everything from the point of view of  how to improve the situation for everyone. "There are people who have  such a, you know, big, broad mission inside them. That is, he is a  man with a mission. He has always been concerned about the fate of  the people, I would say so. Since he is a creative person, then there  is, he always looked at everything, as in the situation that exists,  how to improve the situation for everyone. And this is absolutely a  humanitarian activity. That is, there is no message here against  anyone." "for" - to create, improve and find compromises," says  Vardanyan's partner Mikhail Broitman.

"He devoted himself to people, to service. He, of course, is the  person who does this in his life. Ruben, at some point, being an  absolutely accomplished person, he decided that this was secondary.  What he has, what he created, etc. That wealth is ephemeral, but  there are things in life that determine the meaning of your  existence. And that's exactly what he did. This is service, it's  important, it's primary in life.  Unfortunately, this is understood  by very few people," noted film director Karen Gevorkyan.

In the preface, the authors of the film note: "We created this film  in secret from Ruben. If he had known about this idea, he would  probably have advised us to find a better use of our time and energy,  but here we disagree with him. Through the story about Ruben,  wonderful people, with with which fate brought him together, we tried  to show what a person can achieve if, as Ruben himself says, inside  him, if he puts everything that this person has at the service of  others and remains true to true human values.

The desire to serve people who desperately need help prompted Ruben  to move to Artsakh. He was well aware of all the risks of his  decision, but he could not do otherwise. We all know what happened in  the end." The film ends with the message that Ruben Vardanyan  conveyed from a Baku prison in May of this year in connection with  the Aurora Prize: "I am sure that together we will do a lot to make  the world a better place and kinder. As Marguerite says, love always  wins. So let love and values win! Let us be ready to give more than  we hope to receive in return, and let everyone achieve great changes  for the better!"
