Rise of the Millennial

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.
