Note that for the ABC TV broadcast in Australia in August, and for Al Jazeera, the film’s end titles have been amended to reflect events of April 2008:


"One month later the wall 

which had been at the 

centre of the performance 

was demolished. 


On the 3rd of April 2008 

the main street it had divided was 

at last reopened to pedestrian traffic. 


For the first time in over 40 years 

it is possible to walk through the

ancient heart of Nicosia once more."
