1001 Couronnes pour ma tête

Each braid, each curl, each hairstyle reflects a collective memory. 1001 Couronnes invites you to experience hairstyles as a means of self-affirmation and identity. The film explores the history and evolution of African and Afro-descendant hairstyles, from ancient civilizations to contemporary expressions of the diaspora. From the scourge of enslavement to emancipation, from the struggle for civil rights to the affirmation of the Black pride movement in today's popular culture, these hairstyles bear witness to a rich heritage with profound cultural, social, and economic repercussions.
