The Story of Skinhead

"The Story of Skinhead" is a documentary that delves into the history of the notorious skinhead subculture, featuring interviews with members across different decades. Director Don Letts explores the origins of the movement, which began in the late 1960s with a love of ska, reggae, and smart clothes that brought together young people of different races. However, as far-right politics targeted skinheads in the 1970s and 1980s, the group became associated with intolerance and racism, a stigma that has haunted them ever since. Through personal stories and historical footage, the film sheds light on the complex and often controversial evolution of the skinhead culture.
