“Capturing a Culture” looks back at groundbreaking countercultures through the eyes of the photographers who captured their essence and showcased their rebellious spirit. We especially recommend episodes 11 and 12, in which Gavin Watson tells about the skinhead subculture.

Episode 11: “The Skinhead Identity”

Episode 12: “The Skinhead Divide”
