The Revolution Generation: How Millennials Can Save America and the World paints a refreshingly positive image of the potential our younger generations hold. Delving into historical events and the patterns they reveal, directors Joshua and Rebecca Tickell creatively bring viewers down the timeline of sociocultural movements and the faces behind them, with the inevitable focus being brought back to the people of today. Expanding on ideas of current events, the film explores all facets of the factors that influence our government as well as the way current-day activism continues to challenge them. With a focus on environmental restoration, the Revolution Generation paves the way for thought and challenges its viewers to be the change they want to see in the world, something it does with the assurance that doing so will incite ripples of positive change just as it historically has proven to do. Moreover, it makes the case for the unification of individuals as the backbone of this change. The film is backed by some of the most influential current voices for social and political change, though, as the piece reveals, the most powerful ones yet come from the fusion of those of us who are watching.
