Sky Arte doc explores Sex Pistols myth and punk revolution

A new episode of the series Inseparabili, hosted by Carlo Lucarelli and titled Inventando i Sex Pistols, will air on Sky Arte on Monday, March 9. The documentary delves into the origins of the Sex Pistols, tracing their birth to the Sex boutique on King's Road in London, run by Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren in the mid-1970s. It examines McLaren's narrative in the film The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle, which portrays punk as a hoax against art and market rules. The episode covers the band's dark side, including Sid Vicious's overdose death and the controversial involvement of Ronnie Biggs, the Great Train Robber, who sang on Sex Pistols records. The series explores the intertwined stories of iconic figures and movements.
