About this movie

Each braid, each curl, each hairstyle reflects a collective memory. 1001 Crowns immerses you in an experience where hair becomes an act of self-affirmation and identity. By giving voice to historians, sociologists, dancers, hairdressers, and contemporary women, the film offers an exploration of the history and evolution of African and Afro-descendant hairstyles from the ancient civilizations of the continent to the contemporary expressions of the diaspora. From the scourge of slavery to emancipation, from civil rights struggles to the rise of Black Pride movement in today’s popular culture, these hairstyles stand as a testament to a rich heritage with deep cultural, social, and economic impact.
