THE MILLENNIAL EXPERIENCE
Alex Crozier; 2020; USA; 51 min.
In this documentary filmed in and around Seattle, dance sequences creatively punctuate interviews with millennials of various ethnicities, sexual orientations, and genders in an exploration of cultural appropriation vs. appreciation, LGBTQIA+ culture, and feminism. The Millennial Experience is one part dance-for-film and one part documentary. Millennials are an 80 million strong generation who through self-awareness and discipline realize they must embody the change they wish to see in the world.
