Flash back: 32 years ago, Belize obtained its independence

It is the eve of Belize’s independence. At midnight tonight the symbolic raising of the Belizean flag countrywide will usher in the thirty-second birthday of our young nation. There will be fireworks and jubilation and celebration aplenty, in every corner of the jewel. And tonight, we go back to our archives and pull out footage of that moment at midnight on September twentieth, 1981 when the Belize Flag was unfurled for the first time as Belize became an independent nation.
