Amazing Quest: Stories from Cape Verde | Somewhere on Earth: Cape Verde | Free Documentary

Somewhere on Earth is off to discover Cape Verde: an archipelago of ten or so islands situated in the Atlantic Ocean, 600 km off the coast of Senegal. Ten little worlds, whose sole natural riches are their mountains and their deserts… lands of sand and stone… tormented by the winds and currents.

We visit with George, Theo and Mitu. Who would you love to hang out with? Let us know in the comments.

This could be my next home from Sénégal

I love nature..
Coming to Cape Verde would be nice for me. I'm a Nigerian, I took interest in this Country after watching their national football team at AFCON. Although they're out of the tournament, I've seen them play the best football as I know it.
They've beautiful people and now, I've seen nature at it's best.
If GOD wishes, I'll be in this Country someday.

Absolutely beautiful.

Exploring Cape Verde through this documentary is a journey of contrasts and natural beauty. The rugged landscapes, rare bird sanctuaries, and the passion of locals like George, Theo, and Mitu shine through. Thanks for revealing the hidden treasures of these islands!

hi,do you kknow if there is availible his documentary about cape verde in spanish,thank you

Mitu was amazing to watch. I hope that he is able to keep his wonderful Paradise.

Pretty sad that it's so hard their to catch fish in the ocean but it is like in a lot of places nowadays and That's not a good sign

My father is from São Vicente, Cabo Verde. I was born in Portugal but I fill I belong to this country as well 🥰

Seriously, stop saying the wrong pronunciation for Archipelago... disappointing to say the least considering you're meant to be good at English. Downvoted.

Too many commercials. Drives me crazy.

Merci théo tu parles si bien du Cap Vert et tu parles le créole identique 🥰❤️🇨🇻

How can I live this place?

thank you 🥰😇😍

No body is black…

I have been watching this documentary 7 times and I get fed up. Greetings from Ghana 🇧🇴🇧🇴🇬🇭

Watching from ceylon

It amazes me how Europeans are always going to someplace where there are people of color and criticizing their way of life, & trying to be their saviors, meanwhile back in their homeland or any Western society that they built, there is nothing but destruction of entire ecosystems. Forever the avid gaslighters of the world.

Alcatraz birds? not albatross?

As awesome as this documentary is, I wish filmmakers would not zoom in on faces, enlarging skin tags, pus filled pimples and blackheads , making it hard to keep watching, I would be pissed if someone did that to me

Besides the beautiful islands and people - Cape Verde has become famous for its unique music!

I enjoyed this. Planning to visit in March

Thanks. Good intro to my next destination.

The names are not translated "Cabo Verde" not Cape or Green

Currently studying in The Netherlands I grew up in São Vicente so I'm happy you guys made this mini documentary! Although there could have been shared more of the people themselves to give a broader perspective on how they live in the city of São Vicente, Mindelo.
It is the island that culturally represents Cabo Verde the most, with its outstanding music, and the relaxed way people live there is something worth getting jealous of. It's the most partying island of the archipelago as well, counting on one of the best carnivals in the world. Great for people who really want to get to know about the (good-looking) Capeverdeans. It also has one of the best port systems of Cabo Verde as Porto Grande has been playing an important role in the economy of the island and the ones around it.

I loved the way how Jorge and Zé have been taking care of the vulnerable fauna in the islands of Santa Luzia and the peaceful vibe you transmitted from Santo Antão, because that is how it really is! (and the most beautiful as well)
I agree there could have been more instructed guides making a living of it. The truth is Santo Antão is still being discovered by tourists and that it still has the potential to increase its visitation percentage. When the time comes, the many original guides that have been working behind the scenes for years will appear. There is a lot of opportunities!

And there is Sal (amongst the other six remaining, different, islands) which has become a major touristic attraction in West Africa for many coming from Europe. I hope if one is going on vacation one actually contributes to sustainable tourism activities, such as eating in original restaurants, as hotel chains try to retain all the money within.

All of what has been told I resonate. And that people are passionate about life is the norm in those islands.
Cape Verde, a country/archipelago with a strong history, a modern mindset, looking into a future with great perspectives. Do your own research shall I say.

Proud of being Capeverdean.

Very low volume

I found this video by chance and I really like it, it shows a little of the beauty of MY country. Thanks to do this, FD!!

If Cape Verd is soo great then Why are so many here in the United States !!?

A regular viewer of these documentries. I've known Cape Verde for salt deposits and harvesting
Not much was shared on that and regular village life.

Hoping one day before I leave this 🌐 to visit this amazing place.

Hello,
Very enjoyable! Truly appreciated the documentary.

What a beautiful Cabo Verde islands 🏝, so peaceful and extremely safety and friendly people .Absolutely superb 👌 Bravo. Beautiful romantic music 🎶 forever. Greetings from beautiful Hawaii islands ⛵️ 🏝

I burp so much in my sleep 😅🤣

You guys didn't have a ticket to go to fogo Island, and show the volcano???

It blows my mind how European say somebody discovered somewhere when people that have always been there. GtFOH

This is a beautiful documentary and I admire and am grateful for the work these men are doing. With Cape Verde currently being on the verge of being colonized again, this time by China, I can’t help but feel sad that you chose to focus this documentary on Portuguese and French man, instead of the people of the island who have so much more culture insight to share given Cape Verde’s history with colonialism. The are a lot of interesting Cape Verdeans doing interesting things on the islands that would make for a very compelling documentary. Also, the translation is not very good. I am wondering if you had Cape Verdeans who are fluent in Criolo, Portuguese and English on your team to translate.

Again, this is not meant to diminish this beautiful documentary and the work the men you highlighted are doing. We, Cape Verdeans have such beautiful culture and connection to our land. It would have been nice to see more of it from our perspective.

❤👍🌎.

There is so much more to show about Cv, not just two islands and two Portuguese guy’s and French speaking guy.

Best nya
