In the Seventies he works also with the television and film industry, both as a still photographer and as a cameraman for documentaries in South America and Africa. In the summer of 1975, when Portugal is in the aftermath of the Carnation Revolution which brought back civil liberties and political freedomsand put an end to the empire, Giaccone is in a small village of Ribatejo, and witnesses expropriations, following land reform.
