Returning Home: Stories of Diaspora, Identity, and the 1974 Untold Story| Ep.059
@PaulLambis and Dinos Michaelides, two Cypriot “diasporans” who grew up in South Africa, sit down to reflect on life away from their ancestral homeland. Paul shares how the diaspora community came together to launch a radio show that celebrated the culture and heritage of Cyprus and Greece. After returning to Cyprus, he became deeply moved by the real stories behind the 1974 invasion and set out to create a film that tells the truth from both Greek Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot perspectives for the upcoming 74 film. The conversation also touches on the Cyprus Diaspora Forum, a four-day gathering that connects global Cypriots with leaders from Cyprus’ public and private sectors, aiming to strengthen bonds through entrepreneurship, innovation, and cultural exchange.
A heartfelt episode, where we included some behind the scenes at the start.
