I got a copy of that on DVD, its alright, very biased to the GC side but it shows the true emotions of the people and their thoughts aswell.

Well worth watching. :wink:

It's really good, I had another one as well made a long time ago called 'My Cyprus'.

Demetre, it's worth a watch once, beyond that I've got it in my collection and haven't brushed the dust off it since. It's worth watching for the interviews with some of the people concerned - Makarios and Sampson spring to mind, otherwise it's incredibly biased, filmed in such a style as to emphasise the (legitimate) suffering of the GC people at the time, yet without presenting any other side to the argument. As a piece of historical propaganda though, it's up there with Battleship Potemkin.
