Famagusta

Famagusta is a powerful depiction of the events that occurred that resulted in the illegal occupation of Cyprus. It's a chilling reminder of how history repeats itself, and it brings up a conflict that is not explored in mainstream media.

The depiction of events and the superb acting draws you in, and even if you have no knowledge of what happened, you can relate to the characters as if it had affected you personally. Every family in Cyprus has similar tragic stories to tell that have affected them personally or have affected those close to them.

Series like Famagusta should be aired all over the world, and just the fact that this show has been banned in Turkey is reason enough to watch it.

Thought it to be a simple narrative story but no.... was suprised in the most positive way. I personally felt like being part of the story. Very good casting and suprisingly good directing. As it is a European production dont expect it to be a hollywood super-production. It focuses on the people, their feelings and the difficulties of violently forced to leave their birthplace due to the Turkish invasion in the island of Cyprus. I believe it meets the standards of other european productions similar to its kind. Definetely worth of watching. Cant understand how can someone give it a bad rating unless there are other reasons underlying.

Famagusta is very accurate indeed.

You can tell that the negative comments are from the Turks.

Yes it has been 50 years since the Invasion, it's about time the truth came out!

Turkish Cypriots are very different from the Turks in Turkey.

They are friends or marriages have taken place with Greek Cypriots.

Turkey does not want the truth to be told and this why they argue for this production.

Congratulations to Andrea Georgiou for making this Historic Documentary film.

I will look forward to the next season's.

#Famagusta Peace on Earth and to mankind Stop all wars - War is stupid - Respect each other.

For all the Turks that are saying that it's biased etc, they have not watched it since it is banned in their country and Ertogan is doing propaganda. It is a very nice series that shows FACTS and how the Turkish INVASION took place in Cyprus. Cyprus is still occupied after 50 years and this shows how they are still aggressive and believe that they were correct by invading an island. Famagusta shows facts on how the invasion happened and the cruelty of the Turkish soldiers during the invasion. It shows the assaults that took place, the killings, the properties that were damaged and how they still occupy our island.

Great series based on true events and how the island was divided by an invasion and the aftermath that still haunt the people that are waiting for redemption and reunification free from foreign policies and live peacefully according to UN resolutions at their homeland and securing a safe and prosperous future for their children. This real life drama will touch all hearts and make you cry as it depicts war, family ties, injustice, redemption, love, honour, faith, pride, strength, memories and more. Great performance from all actors revealing deep rooted drama based on true events and characters.
