2024 marks 50 years since the violence that divided the island of Cyprus.
The Divided Island brings the ‘Cyprus problem’ back into focus, revealing untold stories and unravelling the intricate history that still reverberates today. After 50 years of failed negotiations, the issue remains whether the Island will ever become re-united.
Directed by Turkish Cypriot Cey Sesiguzel and co-produced by Greek Cypriot Andreas Tokkallos, The Divided Island approaches this often inflammatory issue through deeply personal interviews – from those whose lives, homes, and country were torn apart, to the new generation of Cypriots yearning for peaceful reconciliation. The filmmakers aim to bring an unbiased, shared understanding of a complex issue and foster a narrative towards a future peaceful solution to the ‘Cyprus problem’.
