Thomas told his story from the trip here: https://youtu.be/vdkQWgZLrYA I took great care to tell this story. There is so much pain wrapped up in it. And in this episode I could only tell one little slice of the modern day version of the divided island of Cyprus. But that s what series are for! there are three more episodes in this series and the next one will take a closer look at what this all looks like today. How it feels like to live on a divided island. Episode 3 will then go deep into the north of the island, talking to Turkish Cypriots and hearing their story. Episode 4 isn t that serious. It s about donkeys. There s no way I can tell all the stories and if you are from this island you probably have a version of these stories that doesn t fit what I ve told here. Please just trust I tried my best. #uncharted Tom Fox composed the music for this video really helped take the quality to the next level. He s good, and he can make music for you too: https://tfbeats.com/ My team: DP - https://www.instagram.com/corypopp/ Field Producer - https://www.instagram.com/jackjoyce/ Map Animations - https://www.instagram.com/boonelovesvideo/ Series Title Animation - https://www.instagram.com/valentinmacke/ Research Producer - https://www.instagram.com/camibuckman/ Special thanks to Lakis Polycarpou, author of "August in the Vanishing City".
