[I]The Revolution Generation: How Millennials Can Save the World (Before It's Too Late) is a new film - and book - from Sundance Award-winning filmmaker Josh Tickell. The film explores the challenges millennials and other young people face in solving current environmental, economic, and social crises. Ticknell takes issue with the notion that millennials are lazy, entitled narcissists with an in-depth exploration of the often-overlooked strengths, activism and commitment of people born between 1980 and 2000. The film features interviews with Corbin Bleu, Senator Bernie Sanders, Rosario Dawson, and Xiutezcatl Martinez among others. It is being screened exclusively on college campuses prior to its release on Netflix. Join a student-led discussion immediately following the 80-minute film.
