Cyprus
Description
Sitting in the eastern Mediterranean is the beautiful island of Cyprus. The earliest known human activity on the island dates to around the 10th millennium BC and occupiers have included the Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, and Ottomans. This film examines how the two distinct cultures of the island - Greek and Turkish Cypriots - coexist with little interchange. Thousands of miles of glittering coastline, hundreds of acres of broad, fertile plains set against a backdrop of dramatic mountain ranges, but Cyprus is a divided land with the Turkish military occupying the northern third of the island.
