Urge Netflix to Globally Screen the Greek Cypriot 'Famagusta' Series
The Issue
The Greek Cypriot series 'Famagusta' is a powerful testament to a piece of history that the world should know about, yet it is denied global screening due to external pressures.
In 1974, Cyprus was invaded by Turkey, resulting in the illegal occupation of a third of the island and forcing thousands of Greek Cypriots to abruptly leave their homes. This tragic event is portrayed within the 'Famagusta' series, offering viewers a glimpse into the horrors the inhabitants encountered. Recently, Turkey demanded Netflix to limit the viewing of this series to only Greece and Cyprus, suppressing a significant historical event. Comprehensive understanding of history is critical for global citizens; by limiting its viewership, Netflix is indirectly promoting biased media consumption.
We urge Netflix to take an impartial stand and make the Greek Cypriot 'Famagusta' series accessible to viewers worldwide since it doesn't only depict an act of aggression, but also symbolizes resilience in challenging times.
Please support our cause and demand for an unbiased, comprehensive representation of history. Sign the petition and join us in this fight for global access to historical knowledge.
