A Quem Interessa a Ignorância

Directed by Alexandre Carvalho

Samara (professor), Renan (engineer) and Lola (journalist) are young recent graduates from Brazilian universities thanks to affirmative action policies. The three characters are considered “exceptions” in a country where less than 17% of the population complete Higher Education. They travel across the country looking for the best and worst public schools and even confront politicians from different parties in the Federal Capital, including then-deputy (and current President) Jair Bolsonaro. Isolated in a bunker, they reflect on the general disregard for public education, on the reasons for the enormous Brazilian inequality and models for a more humane and inclusive education
