The Revolution Generation

Increasingly topical and impressively in-depth with its research, analysis, and documentation of the world of activism and the negative stigmas that surround the millennial generation that holds major numbers within it, the Revolution Generation: How Millennials Can Save America and the World delivers on a film that both empowers and educates its viewers. Directing team Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell seek to put an explanation to the common and tired stereotypes that claim millennials to be lazy or entitled and do so by confronting the sociological perceptions that shape the personas and interactions of each generation, commenting on the financial and political crises of the 21st century that have put many within the millennial generation in debt or states of pessimism towards society. Interesting enough on its own, the Tickell's go beyond this to document the astonishing and inspiring amount of millennials who refute these claims, specifically those who have given themselves and their voices to activist causes and political spheres to better shape the world themselves, no longer willing to wait for their older generations to fix their own messes. It's not just a documentary that advocates for the significance of the millennial generation, but it is one that seeks to highlight the human desire to help one another and improve the lives of future generations, desires that represent the millennial generation tenfold. Speaking with millennial political and activist leaders such as Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, Shailene Woodley, Chase Iron Eyes, Michelle Rodriguez, who strongly and passionately narrates the film, and many more, Revolution Generation keeps an attentive and dedicated focus and appreciation to its subject matter, holding the weighty subjects of generational divides and social justice in the respect and care they need. This film is wonderful for those interested in activist documentaries but is even better for those who wish to learn more about the systemic and sociological conditions that shape the lives and minds of a generation, something that is as fascinating as it is thought-provoking.
