Creating a documentary that includes every aspect of the Cyprus problem is a huge project.
I agree.
I think a Turkish journalist, Mehmet Ali Birand, has a comprehensive Cyprus problem documentary.
I have his documenatry as a 3 Cd-roms set. He only reflected what we have learned from the history books. It is totally one-sided and doesn't give us any clues what the other side of the medallion has... All of the questiones he asked to whom he interviewed were conventional, stereotyped, in my opinion.
It's a little bit one-sided but I think it provides quite an insight in what happenned in Cyprus.
As I said, nothing different what we have learned from the history text books...
Since this is your first time, you might want to focus on one aspect/period of the Cyprus problem. For example, you can make a documentary about ordinary Cypriots who had nothing to do with EOKA or TMT and how their lives changed overnight in 1974 due to other's mistakes.
To the contrary where I want to start from is to interview the living ex-TMT, EOKA and EOKA-B members that as far as I know noone dared to do yet . I haven't formed the framework of this documentary yet but perhaps I can divide it into several parts.
Now I'm working on the framework and when it is completed I'll offer it to a news tv or some sponsors. It is really a hard task but everything have been shaped in my mind.
