The Story
The film is based on the journey from Cyprus to the rest of the world for six migrant Cypriot Queens.
The global footprint of the women of the island has never been documented showing their impact, their struggles, and the ingredients to their success. An island that is split in two with the only divided capital in Europe, how do these diaspora queens unite regardless, and how does their Cypriot spirit give them the strength to continue.
The aim is to film six Cypriot women, all with a Hollywood story to share from the six corners of the world. These include South Africa, Australia, UK, Canada, USA, and Europe.
How have these women influenced the modern world and played a role in some of the iconic periods of current times, The Partite, World War II, The Turkish Invasion of Cyprus in 1974, Vietnam and many more.
How have these women shaped history and still maintained the Cypriot routes, their role as mothers, wives, activists, and leaders.
How have these women paved the way for generations to come giving others the opportunities they have today. These stories must be told for the world to hear before they are lost in time.
