(active the subtitles to see the translation to English or the closed caption)
After the Liberal Revolution of 1820 started in Portugal, the Portuguese Cortes assemble to make a constitution for Portugal they try to recolonize Brazil, a Portugal autonomous territory at this point.
The prince D. Pedro de Alcântara, the first in the succession line of the Portuguese throne, it's left by his father, D. João VI, in Brazil as the regent prince. However, the Cortes try a lot of times, unsuccessfully, to bring him back to Portugal.
Meanwhile, the mineralogist and Brazilian politician José Bonifácio, together with D. Leopoldina, D. Pedro's wife, persuading him an attempt to bring him into the independence movements that were growing throughout the country in reaction to the attitudes of the Lisbon Cortes.
On the day 2nd September 1822, the news is received on Rio de Janeiro, then capital of the country, that the Cortes will determine the closedown of the Brazilian tribunals, that each Brazilian province would answer to Portugal and that the regent prince will have to return to Portugal. Immediately, D. Leopoldina, who substitute the husband while he was on São Paulo, make a meeting with the ministers and they decide that she and the most important of them, José Bonifácio, have to write a letter to D. Pedro advising him to make the independence of Brazil.
He receives the letters on 7th September and after reading he announces to his entourage and to his personal guard that he'll make the Brazilian Independence screaming: "For my blood, for my honor and my God, I swear to make the Brazilian freedom! Brazilians, from now on our motto will be 'Independence or Death'!"
This video is an extract from the movie "Independência ou Morte" (Independence or Death), released in 1972, that shows from an epic and heroic way the moment of that scream of independence known as "The Ipiranga Scream" (because this happened at the bank of the Ipiranga stream). Here, D. Leopoldina is played by the actress Kate Hansen, José Bonifácio is played by the actor Dionísio Azevedo and D. Pedro is played by the actor Tarcísio Meira that unfortunately died of COVID-19 this year. I hope that his family is being consoled at this moment.
