Audience Member A reasonably good documentary of the dramatic events in Cyprus '74, from the Greek Cypriot perspective... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A docu-wrath,Cacoyannis could have done more exploiting his material instead of giving space to the immigrant distraction,the Cypriot breakdown in other words after a foreign conspiratory circle of events.Very interesting after the primary part. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This is definitely more a piece of propaganda than a true documentary, but it is invaluable for dealing with the Turkish invasion on Cyprus in 1974. More than 30 years later, Cyprus is still dealing with the fallout of this brutal invasion that left thousands dead. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member I didn't like this film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
