The Revolution Generation

The Revolution Generation: How Millennials Can Save America and the World directed by Josh and Rebecca Tickell, is an eye-opening piece of art that gives viewers an insightful view into who will shape the future. The documentary does a great job at educating viewers about the present state of politics, while simultaneously looking to the future and using information from the past. The main focus is, of course, millennials, and what their role in this future is. By using historical analysis to break down the negative connation the word 'millennial' has, the directors effectively replace it with a more empowering and positive view of millennials. Various clips are shown in which millennials are actively fighting and putting themselves in adverse positions all for the support of their prospective causes. Most notably, Shailene Woodley is seen getting arrested for protesting the North Dakota Pipeline. With a passionate narration by Michelle Rodriguez, viewers can connect to the words being said and really gain a better knowledge of all the topics discussed. Seeing celebrities use their voices for the causes they choose to support is an inspirational behavior which was wisely placed in this movie to show people from all backgrounds can support other people from different backgrounds.

Directors Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell did an incredible job with The Revolution Generation: How Millennials Can Save America and the World. Through the years millennials have been called everything from lazy to selfish. Over the course of this film I was amazed at how much I didn't know about millennials. The Revolution Generation opens your eyes to many things that before watching you wouldn't even be open to knowing. Getting Michelle Rodriguez to narrate was an inspired choice. As a millennial and woman she is a part of the story they are telling in the documentary. The Revolution Generation is all about reclaiming a nation's lost voice. The most interesting part of the film is how the Tickells are able to create a powerful dynamic between old and new information. Having information thrown at you can seem tedious but, The Revolution Generation finds a way that makes people want to learn more about each topic. They were also able to find relatability in adding in familiar faces like AOC, Shailene Woodley, and Corbin Bleu. Millennials know these faces, they trust these faces. These are the things that make a film relatable for an audience. When you go see a movie you want to be able to relate to it in some way. For documentaries adding in faces your target audience will know make that possible. The Revolution Generation makes sure to put an emphasis on the need for a spark to ignite change in today's society. Leaving the theater will make you feel like you could be that spark for yourself or someone else.

A paramount documentary, covering a multitude of current events all circling one phenomena: the adulthood of the millennial. Josh and Rebecca Tickell's new documentary, The Revolution Generation: How Millennials Can Save America and the World, addresses the negative connotations of upcoming younger generations and uses history and evidence to offer concise, lucid rebuttals. It effectively proves how all of the traits allocated to millennials that have been deemed unworthy, are the key to the progression of the planet. A wide range of topics including social justice, student debt, climate control, and more amalgamate to form a cohesive story of a generation fighting with all that they have to create a world better than the one they grew up in. Metaphorical sound design brings to life the emotions of a generation; run and gun footage symbolizes the grit and hard work millennials are ready to put in; and top-tiered structuring brings together an explicit, successful argument. The Revolution Generation becomes one more well-spoken leader in the ongoing fight for human and earthly rights.

A timeless documentary, The Revolution Generation: How Millennials Can Save America and the World, is largely impactful to modern society and to our future posterity. Directors Joshua Tickell and Rebecca Harrell Tickell, creators of Kiss The Ground, have done it again with this brilliant and moving film. Touching upon subjects of highly important matters such as the, #metoo movement, women's rights, environmental conservation, BLM, and other topics, this film is not afraid to speak out and stand up for what's right. The film while also heart-wrenching is uplifting and refreshing for those who believe nothing is being done to rid the world of injustice. It's empowering and beautifully created and will get individuals off the couch and on their feet while also eliminating any hesitation to join these movements. This remarkable film incorporates the powerful voices of political and environmental activists Shailene Woodley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Greta Thunberg, Jennifer Lawrence, and narration by Michelle Rodriguez to help spread the importance of these political and environmental movements that could transform the world. This extraordinary film highlights and underlines the necessity of unity and cooperation from across the country and around the world in order to construct and build a better, more diverse, and inclusive society. Revolution Generation is nothing short of excellent and the pure genius of Rebecca and Joshua Tickell is illuminated throughout the entire film.

In this new age of dark and disturbing documentaries, Joshua and Rebecca Tickell stray from this and provide viewers with optimistic and powerful viewing experiences. Their new film, Revolution Generation: How Millennials Can Save America and the World, is no exception. This is not just a film about millennials and the misconceptions behind them; it is a live-time documentation of the restructuring of the world. What do I mean by this? Well, according to the film, social, political, and historical change is coming and it is being propagated by millennials. Characterized by the "Hero" archetype by the Strauss-Howe Generational Theory, millennials are predicted to be the protector generation to be succeeded by Generation Z as the "Artist" generation which will bring progression after the Hero has conquered. I thoroughly enjoyed the wide range of areas covered in the film. From social change to environmental advocacy to political takeover to technological advancement, millennials have proved the necessity for youthful voices. The film also includes many notable faces such as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Shailene Woodley, and Michelle Rodriguez to prove just how influential millennials have been when given a platform for social advocacy. As a young adult not only did I feel inspired by the documentary, but I felt heard. I definitely recommend this film!
