Fifty years after the double Turkish invasion of Cyprus, the NEWS 24/7 documentary attempts to keep the memory alive, giving the floor to those who experienced the events that ultimately scarred their lives. A total of twelve people give their own testimonies about the coup against Makarios, the first invasion on July 20, 1974, the road of exile and captivity and the second phase of Attila. At the same time, they present their perspective on a possible solution to the Cyprus problem in the future. The documentary team, with their travel gear, recorded images from the occupied Cypriot territories traveling to Kyrenia, Rizokarpasos, the Monastery of Apostolos Andreas and the Varosia of Famagusta, capturing aspects of modern life in the places where Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots once lived together. --- Production, Journalistic Research: Panagiota Kleanthos, Nikos Giannopoulos Director, Director of Photography: Dimitris Koulelis Editing, Sound Mixing, Coloring: Ioanna Spanou Creative Director: Vasso Geti Motion Designer: Smaro Sahpazidou Editorial Director: Stavros Dioskouridis Editorial Director NEWS 24/7 : Manos Chorianopoulos They participated in alphabetical order: - Giorgula Agapiou - Constantia Agapiou - Ulous Irgat - Androula Kanari - Chrystalla Karolou - Dimitris Kotsiekkas - Harita Mantoles - Iosif Michael - Michalis Michael - Kypros Pepekos - Despina Savva - Sotiris Savva - Joseph Saltsidou - Zehra Tzegiz - Giorgos Charitonidis The songs were heard in order of appearance: Moments of Invasion (My Five Fingers) Composer: Marios Tokas Poetry: Kostas Montis The song was donated by the composer's family and the "Marios Tokas Foundation 1954-2008".
