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 demilitarised zone, its cities abandoned, its homes emptied. 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.
