The film “Two Homelands” is both a remembrance of war and a celebration of community. Two Homelands: A film about Cyprus and its history.
Fifty years after the Turkish invasion of Cyprus, six elderly Greek Cypriots in Australia give emotional testimonies about their beloved island and their migration to Australia. A universal story, reflecting the cost of war and the resilience of the human spirit.
Film synopsis
As the 50th anniversary of the 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus is marked, six Australian Greek Cypriots – aged 70 to 102 – give eyewitness accounts of Cyprus and their migration to Australia.
Three emigrated in the 1950s, three are 1974 refugees. They have survived great loss, but hope that their beloved island will one day be reunited.
“Two Homelands” intersperses rare archives with personal stories. With passion and humour, the film will touch the hearts of all Cypriots. For others, it will shed light on an occupation that remains illegal and unjust.
Cyprus is of geostrategic importance in a region where many conflicts remain unresolved. The film reflects the futility of war and the human cost 50 years after the bombs stopped falling.
