The following documentaries can be helpful in getting to know the history of Cyprus, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and the 1974 conflict that started it all. They have been chosen from different sources, so that they are representative of different ideas and perspectives. Personally, I think that this issue is the first one that people who will visit Cyprus learn! The very first conversation in Cyprus could be about the division and what happened in 1974 and how the island is still divided.
