I am Pelo Malo


Racism is an ancient practice of social exclusion that includes many spheres of life of the people .. In Colombia's population was black brought Africa for forced labor that demanded lot of physical effort to Indigenous native of Colombia, for their physiognomy, met with a greater degree of difficulty. From now experienced in the country racism and slavery as accepted a practice.

After Colombia's independence from Spain and was formed as a sovereign state was persisting the problem of slavery. Only until 1851 the president Jose Hilario Lopez who decreed the definitive abolition of slavery abolished in Colombia slavery. However, despite being abolished the practice of slavery, racism has not left the minds of many Colombians.

As mentioned in the video Colombia racism still lives. This causes the Afro offspring is behind in economic, educational, political Arguments of courses, among many others.
Mariana Rondon, director of the film Pelo Malo, could argue that a similar situation occurs in Venezuela since it was a country that also received a lot of slaves and now living practices of racism.

The director may argue that these racist practices should be abolished completely and Bad Hair movie does double duty in this regard: First, evidence the real situation of many Venezuelans who could extrapolate Afro-Colombians, and second is a way to call public attention on these issues and attitudes as a society must change.
