O Dia da Liberdade



00:20, 25 April 1974.

Rádio Renascença broadcasts Zeca Afonso's song Grândola, Vila Morena: this is the MFA's main go-ahead signal to troops to launch military operations.

In this scene from Maria de Medeiros' film Capitães de Abril, the 10th commando group are changing in the park to disguise themselves as PIDE (the regime's secret police) in order to take control of the Rádio Clube Português.
