Casanova: The Great Chameleon

While many know Casanova as the world's greatest lover, few know anything about his historical roots or his family heritage. For years Casanova's true identity has evaded historians until recent discoveries surfaced regarding his Armenian heritage. For the Armenian people, victims of a Genocide that wiped out 1.5 million people in 1915, the historical significance of such a discovery is paramount. Could Casanova have really been Armenian? Or are the Armenian people just clinging onto shakey evidence? If he is Armenian, why would he actively hide his true ethnicity from the world? This short documentary journeys through the canals of Venice in search of the real Casanova.
