Ska is a musical genre loved by many but ignored by most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For real aficionados this is not a problem, but a mark of distinction. Because mods, skinheads and rudeboys are united by something more than music: the refusal to conform to the society in which they live, where wealth, appearance and always being fashionable are important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead they have their own distinctive style: polo shirt with collar, sunglasses and drainpipe trousers for the mods; the original skins wear more \u2018threatening\u2019 clothing: heavy boots on their feet, braces, shaved heads and tattoos. They are often mistaken for unruly and violent racists. But is that actually the case?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a journey that starts in Piazza Statuto in Turin and ends in Trieste, the short film Like a river, <\/em>propels us into the lives of Oskar, singer in the group Statuto, Torino FC supporter and spokesman for the Italian Mod scene; Tommaso the rudeboy double-bassist in the band The One Droppers; Sergio, a lawyer and devotee from Milan; and the young skinhead Emilano and his mod friends from Trieste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like a River<\/em>presents a remarkable musical journey into the world of youth culture linked to Jamaican beats that will surprise the audience by breaking down the barriers of stereotypes and prejudices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A film by Alessandro Melazzini<\/a><\/em>.
