It's wonderful to reveal the history that one knows of Cape Verde"s People, the producers of this documentary did so much reading of the slave masters books,but as Cabral was a warrior monk . We must understand The meaning of "Return to the Source" Our Source was clearly before 1460. It's like giving Columbus credit for discovering America,misleading at best and only from the books authorized by the people who killed him, Google "new christian",new jerusalen, knight of Portugal capeverdeannet
