The skinhead movement explained through skinheads' words
7 April 2009
Warning: Spoilers
A good documentary, the author gave an insider point of view, letting members of the movement speak. The skinhead movement from his original birth in the UK, the widespread in Europe, the rise of "white power" and the leftist counterpart, till the recent homicides in the North America scene. Everything is told by the words of active members, what means to be a skinhead in their opinions, identities, their biographical paths and their minds about their own world. The interviews have been taken from skins belonging to both racist and anti-fascist wing.

The documentary is not really focused on skinhead sub-culture, rather on the two wings and the relations between them; some interviews with leaders of ska and punk bands (almost living legends in the scene like Laurel Aitken, Buster Bloodvessel and Jimmy Pursey), some gig live recording.

A good document about one of most misunderstood and stigmatized sub-culture ever.
