Generation Wealth
The American dream just keeps getting more expensive.
Directed by Lauren Greenfield
Produced by Evergreen Pictures, Amazon Studios
A critical documentary examination of American consumer culture and wealth obsession that reveals the psychological and social costs of materialism across generations.
Over the past 25 years, Lauren Greenfield's documentary photography and film projects have explored youth culture, gender, body image, and affluence. Underscoring the ever-increasing gap between the haves and the have-nots, portraits reveal a focus on cultivating image over substance, where subjects unable to attain actual wealth instead settle for its trappings, no matter their ability to pay for it.
