The Revolution Generation (2021)

Enlightening, Honest, and Entertaining Film

[9/10 · 4 April 2022]

The Revolution Generation: How Millennials Can Save America and the World is one of those movies that will get people talking, in the best way possible. It's rare to find a film full of so many important and current conversations that is still entertaining, enlightening, and inspiring, but Revolution Generation accomplishes this and beyond. Directed by Josh and Rebecca Tickell, this film first covers a great deal of ground concerning what has shaped each generation and how the effects roll into the following generations. It then dives into today's social issues from politics, to climate change, to activism movements like Black Lives Matter, LGBTQ+ rights, and more. I love how the film truly empowers the younger generations and recognizes our power to change anything we set our minds to! Cinematically, Revolution Generation is beautifully put together with a great mix of news clips, illuminating graphics and illustrations, shots from history, and real people sharing their own thoughts, feelings, and stories. All in all, I cannot stress the importance this film holds enough; I think its message is something we all need to listen to about understanding our past, activism, and changing our country for the better in the future. I cannot recommend this film enough to anyone with an interest in how each generation impacts our country's past, present, and future!
