Leader of the student union, Saulo is the target of racist curses inside the classroom. When he retaliates, he is called to the principal’s office, but refuses to suffer the consequences of the attack alone, since the aggressor is not responsible for his speech. Inspired by readings about the Black Panthers, the boy decides to stay in school until justice is done.
""Head of the Negro" addresses a relevant discussion about racism, social differences and precariousness of the Brazilian education system. Director Déo Cardoso brings a production with references to the Black Panthers and antiracist struggles, which seem endless in the prejudiced society we live in. Through the story of Saulo (Lucas Limeira), a student victim of racism in a school, the filmmaker weaves necessary criticisms of the public education system directed to the young public - which is still little explored in black cinema."
