Generation Wealth (Parent And Baby Screening) (18)

For quarter of a century, documentary filmmaker Lauren Greenfield has recorded moments in time of a bloated consumer culture that values wealth and status above kindness, compassion and humility. In her new film, she explores how the boom-bust cycles of the global economy impact on our insatiable hunger for designer labels and material possessions, and the greed that is now deeply rooted in the American dream. The filmmaker holds a mirror up to her own failings.
