Head of State

“The only thing white is the house.”

Mays Gilliam (Chris Rock) is a Washington, D.C. alderman who wants nothing more than to keep his small job and his neighborhood. Then the party's presidential candidate dies in the middle of the campaign, and the Democrats pick Mays as his replacement. Chris Rock, directing for the first time, sets him beside his brother Mitch (Bernie Mac) and leaves Mays a man trying to run for the biggest office in the country without losing himself.
