THE THIN GREEN LINE

In 1974, war broke out in Cyprus between Turkish and Greek forces. After months of conflict, the island was divided in two by a 10 km wide demilitarized zone, and its cities abandoned. What was once nicknamed The Green Line has become just that. With many areas untouched by human interference, flora and fauna have begun to flourish. 50 years later, two ecologists resolve to enter and study this no-man’s land. What they find reveals a shocking story of life after war and unity in the face of division.
