Since its overwhelming success at its first public performance in the late 1960s, Hair has inspired generations with its messages of love, non-violence and liberation. At the origin of the musical comedy were two key figures –James Radon and Gerome Ragni – the authors of the book and lyrics, followed by composer Galt MacDermot. Today, 40 years on, James Rado has assembled another troupe of actors and dancers to prepare for a new tour of the show in North America. Around the central figure of James Rado, the film will follow the people behind this phenomenon and will explore the social, political and cultural relevance of Hair from its beginning until now.
