Chico Rei was an enslaved Congolese king who fought for freedom - his and that of his people - during the Gold Cycle in Minas Gerais. This character's story is the starting point for exploring the diverse echoes of Brazilian slavery in the lives of blacks today, understanding his movement for self-assertion and freedom from a collective perspective.
