"Proud to be Cape Verdean: A Look at Cape Verdeans in the Golden State" (2012, 55 min) view trailer- by Mike Costa – is a documentary that captures the essence of the Cape Verdean culture in California through an insightful look at individuals and organizations and their desire to maintain their cultural identity.

This film highlights the unique Californian, the Cape Verdean, whose distinct classification of African and European roots present them as a robust ingredient in the “Melting Pot” we call America. The music of the Mendes Brothers, John & Ramiro is featured. Actor/Producer Michael Beach lends his voice talents as Narrator. The documentary features Portuguese and French subtitles.

The screening will be followed by Q&A with director Mike Costa, live via Skype. Our moderator will be Mwiza Munthali, the Public Outreach Director of TransAfrica and the radio host of “Africa Now” on WPFW 89.3FM.
