Thank You Skinhead Girl

Synopsis: A documentary detailing the film-maker’s experience of being in care and becoming a skinhead girl during the late 1970s and early 1980s. It gives an insight through a female perspective into a youth sub-culture that has been one of the most misunderstood of the youth groups. Through the voice of the film-maker we are taken into the personal reflections of that time, showing a working class girl finding refuge within the skinhead movement: a place where she grew, survived, thrived and eventually learned a very hard, uncomfortable lesson through violence.
