2 what is the main problematic in the film ?

The main problem in this film is that at this time there was racism towards black people as shown by the film there was only one school for them which showed that at that time the black and white people could not mix part of that white people had their principles and beliefs which was that Christ is white but because it can not be black in my opinion Christ can be as we wanted to imagine it because if we are in the image of god, Jesus can be white black oriental mestizo depends of the conception of the person also at this time the white men believed beings of superior race and treated the black people as slaves I can imagine how much people would suffer from these differences of thoughts
