Nicosia, Cyprus: the last divided capital in Europe

Role: Producer

It is 45 years since Turkey and Greece came to blows in Cyprus, and the island remains physically and politically divided - not least by a wall that cuts through the capital, Nicosia. But a new generation of conscientious objectors are risking prison – and the scorn of their elders – by refusing to take up arms against each other.

I developed and edit produced this episode. It was filmed by directors Max Duncan and Ekin Çalışır.

This was part of a 5-episode original documentary series that I developed and produced for The Guardian, called Divided Cities.

This episode had its premiere at Rotterdam.
