Famagusta

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.

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.

The truth events on what happened to Cyprus in 1974 with the illegal and violent turkish invasion.

History canl not change and if u visit Cyprus you will see that whole Cyprus was and is greek.

With the illegal invasion half a century ago, and the misleading turkish tourist agents or those agents who are funded and promoted to miseducate tourists and visitors.

Unfortunately many of the visitors dont care about history at all but at least some programs must show the truth out of it and never stop fighting against the wrong and misleading works of the turkish propaganda. So watch to get an idea, even without the vandalism of the churches.

Was really looking forward to watching this as the story is intriguing with an interesting geo-political dynamic. However, despite well thought out cinematography and better than average acting, Famagusta is unfortunately let down by incredible historical and factual inaccuracies.

The timeline seems to start in 1974 when actual troubles between the two communities (Greek and Turkish Cypriots) and the guarantor powers (Turkey, Greece and the UK) began more than a decade earlier - all vital to the story and provides invaluable context but this seems to have been glanced over. The Greek invasion, ENOSIS and the AKRITAS plan have been glorified and the Turkish intervention demonised - all incorrect.

It's quite apparent that the producers and directors were out to paint a very specific, loaded picture of what is generally considered to be a 'brainwashed' view of historical fact. A shame really, had potential.

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.
