The kids are all right — the world they’re inheriting, not so much. “The Revolution Generation,” Rebecca and Josh Tickell’s look inside global youth movements aimed at addressing climate change and other ills plaguing the planet, has found a home. Greenwich Entertainment snagged North American rights to the documentary. Deadline confirmed the news.
“The Revolution Generation” is narrated by “Fast & Furious” staple Michelle Rodriguez and explores the “culminating global environmental crisis and its connections to social, racial, and cultural injustices and profiles a group of young leaders who are taking a no holds barred approach to fixing these issues. Its release is timed to coincide with the 2022 US mid-term elections and to inspire young people to get involved in policy change as a means of rectifying environmental issues,” per the source. It features interviews with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, among others.
The film premiered at DOC LA and took home three awards. “The Revolution Generation” will hit theaters April 22 to coincide with Earth Day, and its release will include a nationwide college and impact campaign.
“This is a tipping point moment where the future of our planet and our species hangs in the balance. That’s why we are excited to bring out ‘The Revolution Generation’ on Earth Day with Greenwich to youth audiences around the country. It is the young activists who must step up and lead the environmental movement now, and this movie shows them new ways to win this fight,” the directors commented.
Rebecca and Josh Tickell’s other credits include “Kiss the Ground,” “Good Fortune,” and “Pump.”
