The Cyprus Friendship Programme


There is conflict between Greek speaking and Turkish speaking Cypriots.  CFP is a program designed to bridge the differences between cultures and create a lasting relationship of trust.

A documentary is being produced that investigates how CFP is working to build  relationships.  The documentary includes the interactions of two students.  We have an opportunity to contribute footage to this documentary.  Our goal will be to conduct interviews, videotape speakers at a conference, record b-roll material, and take pre-recorded footage and edit into a finished piece.

Footage we have access to:
students arrive at airport and meet host family?
BBQ get together
Students casually interacting with one another around host house
Students recording each other privately (thoughts/journal writing)
self portrait

Footage to shoot:

Person on the street interviews (give a context for cultural divides/conflict resolutions)
Question- What is the best way for the world to put aside its differences?

B-roll to complement student interviews that are green screened (maps, symbols and metaphors)

Student interviews (Orla and Yagmer)
