“Amilcar Cabral - A documentary”

Amilcar Cabral was the leader of the Liberation Movement of Cape Verde and Guinea Bissau and the founder of the African Party for the Independence of Guinea Bissau and Cape Verde (PAIGC). Regarded as a true icon of African history, this documentary provides considerable background to this revolutionary giant and reveals Cabral in several dimensions: as a man, a father, politician, humanist and poet.
The documentary is skillfully produced and uses a wealth of rare archive footage, balanced inclusion of varied testimonies of important African personalities and the credible recreation of notable episodes of Cabral's life.
Amilcar Cabral was born in Portuguese Guinea to Cape Verdean parents on September 12, 1924 and died a tragic death in the evening of January 20, 1973.

Tarrafal Candidato a Património Mundial

O governo de Cabo Verde deverá ter pronta toda a documentação técnica da candidatura do Campo de Concentração do Tarrafal (norte da ilha de Santiago) a Património Mundial da Humanidade em 2011 ou 2012.

Segundo Carlos Carvalho, presidente do Instituto de Investigação e Património Cultural (IIPC) cabo-verdiano, a documentação do sítio histórico, já Património Nacional de Cabo Verde, será entregue logo que possível à Organização das Nações Unidas para a Educação, Ciência e Cultura (UNESCO).

É necessário, contudo, desenvolver mais trabalho para a apresentação de uma candidatura com substância, sendo precisas obras de reabilitação no também conhecido por "campo da morte lenta", definitivamente encerrado a 01 de Maio de 1974.
