Never before seen English documentary featuring an interview with the woman at the centre of the award winning World Press Photo 1964, by Sir Don McCullin - Nevcihan Oluşum, Gaziveren, Cyprus
The world famous photograph taken by Sir Don McCullin has come to depict and symbolise the years of suffering during the Cyprus conflict. Here, Turkish Cypriot Nevcihan talks of the years of distress at seeing her own image misappropriated, defiled and distorted in anti-Turkish Cypriot propaganda in which she is depicted as a Greek Cypriot woman. The documentary provides the context of Nevcihan's husbands killing and the start of the Cyprus conflict with serious violence and murder during 'Bloody Christmas', 1963. The inaction of the UN prolonged the suffering and attacks of Turkish Cypriots for another 10 years, until Turkey's intervention which prevented the genocide of a European Muslim population.
