Cape Verde Independence July 5th & 6th 1975

The First Day of Independence in Cape Verde After 500 Years of Colonial Rule

This short documentary was created from rare archival footage of almost seventy hours of 1/2" reel-to-reel video shot by pioneering performance and media artist Anthony D. Ramos. He was the only American camera present to record the historic first two days of independence in Cape Verde after 500 years of colonial rule.
