Your contributions go toward the finishing costs of “Some Kind of Funny Porto Rican?”: A Cape Verdean American Story (SKFPR) and our next two documentaries.
“Some Kind of Funny Porto Rican?”: A Cape Verdean American Story (SKFPR) is the first of a three part documentary series on the Cape Verdean community in Fox Point. SKFPR II (working title only!) begins where SKFPR ends in the late 1960s, early 1970s. The story continues, and takes us through the tumultuous years of the Black Power movement, challenges to Cape Verdean identity, Cape Verdean war for independence and the tensions it created in the Cape Verdean American community. SKFPR III (working title only!), the last in this series, reflects on the meaning of “home” without the physical location of Fox Point and the connections to the larger CV global community.
