Bir Zamanlar Kibris

This is a very Informative TV drama series produced by a reputable TV channel in Turkey; TRT. It is based on True Events from the period of Bloody Christmas, where brutal attacks of genocide was carried out on Turkish Cypriots by the now Internationally recognised Greek Cypriot terrorist group; EOKA, whose purpose is Enosis meaning unification with Greece. It shows the survival, struggle and resistance of Turkish Cypriots against the terrorist organisation between the years 1963 and 1974. The series is gripping and emotional, full of action and powerful performances by the actors and actresses.

Absolutely amazing, i never thought i would see the day where the story was told from our point of view and shot so beautifully. If you haven't seen it yet i would definitely recommend!

I can highly recommend this series, it is factual and based on the genocide of the Turkish Cypriot people by the Greeks. It is captivating and heart breaking. A must watch.

Turkish propaganda that doesn't say the truth ahout intercommunal relationship. Unite cyprus now. Greece and turkey get out of Cyprus.

It is important for any series that talk about pre 1974 Cyprus, to be inclusive and portray the reality. Yes nationalists always existed but most people lived in piece and loved eachother. Making this to be so insecurate not only for the greek speaking cypriot community but also the turkish speaking cypriot community is unacceptable. The characters speak "mainland" Turkish instead of the island's dialect and the characters seen as bad are the ones using the dialect (incorrectly might I add)

Another very accurate TV series from TRT1. Screen writing astonishingly good as well as editing, cast, historic sense of a particular period of time etc. However it's more than a movie, it sets the history right. And this reality would be never forgotten because when we forget these massacres, these merciless acts keep happening again like Sarajevo, like other parts of Bosnia, like Hocali etc.

It is sometimes very hard to watch especially if you witnessed that period with your own eyes. I can't describe my feelings about it. Please make whole world witness this horrible events as well as real heroes achievements. Sometimes people prefer to believe bunch of lies but I hope at least some of them wake up to the reality after this film.
