Synopsis: After Saulo's reaction to a racial insult from a classmate, his teachers describe him as a young delinquent and swiftly attempt to expel him ignoring his usually calm and articular demeanor. Outraged, Saulo refuses to leave the school until justice is done. His solitary occupation ends up challenging the school's board and mobilizes the entire community. The students did not anticipate, however, the principal's extreme reaction. Echoime events from around the world, A Bruddah's Mind effectively calls out racism, misogyny, and militarism. It reminds us about the importance of activism, political engagement, and the sacrifices that come with it.
