Generation Why
2009, English. Directed by Brendan Prost.
A film about frustration, confusion, and uncertainty. It would be completely unappealing it it wasn't the story of our lives.
A thoughtful and engaging examination of a young generation's struggle to find themselves and their place in the world as seen during the course of a 'slacker uprising' in one city incited by three frustrated high school graduates.
