Sky Arte documentary explores 20th-century hairstyles as rebellion

A new documentary titled 'Un Diavolo per capello – I re dell’hairstyle' will air on Sky Arte on Friday, August 17, at 19:15. The film examines how hairstyles from the 1950s Elvis Presley-inspired pompadours to 1960s hippie long hair, Black community styles, punk crests, and rasta dreadlocks served as identity statements and acts of social rebellion throughout the 20th century. It features testimonies from cultural movement witnesses and individuals who chose unconventional haircuts, aiming to unravel over a century of hairstyles and reveal their social significance. The documentary is part of Sky Arte's programming, with the channel's website powered by Artribune, which manages content and digital interface.
