Desc: Rise of the Millennial: Directed by Michelle Tomlinson. With Darby Walker, Algernon D'Ammassa, Alec VanOwen, Jamason Coles. The primary objective of this documentary is to showcase the disconnect between the Millennial Generation and how social media/media depicts them. Although not listed with a specific beginning and end year, the individuals between the ages of 18 to 27 have never known the United States of America during a time of peace. Since the War on Terror was born the moment a plane flew into the north tower in New York City, our country has evolved its violence to include the current rash of shootings in clubs, malls, high school & college campuses and in elementary schools like Sandy Hook. The Millennial Generation is largely the most mis-understood generation of American History. They are facing very real and very serious dangers that vary from global warming, a challenged economy, a broken political system and the continued skyrocketing cost of living that meets a still lower-than-survivable minimum wage. We hope to cover their struggles, as well as how they feel the future can be changed for the better. Ultimately, we aim to give them a voice.
