Recording of the 'Free Palestine' peaceful protest in the fall of 2023, which took place in the divided capital of Cyprus, Nicosia, itself being both exemplary and conflicting. 

This unprecedented moment in history glues the refugee crisis in previous years with the new wave due to the ongoing wars. While people look for a home and assimilate into the new environment, they also support the cause that matters. 

This recording captures the unity, resistance, and standing up for what is right, in a peaceful way. 
Cyprus, which is also a divided territory, became a haven for many refugees and supported the people on both ends of the conflict. 

Recorded by Serge Bulat.
