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.

fitnessfawnia If you have a parent you will relate to this film which seriously took my breath away. So many lives were followed and even the producer was swept into the script and followed. A must watch! I can't wait to get my book copy.

cdcrb I am not sure what the film maker, laura greenfield, is going for here, but she fails miserably. a documentary about self involved, self indulgent and greedy people might sound like fun, but it's not. believe me. you won't feel a drop of sympathy for anyone here. one thing i did notice. ms. greenfield seems to blame her mother for her own shortcomings. her mother is having none of it. proceed at your own risk.

mattshonfeld Ms Greenfield spent two decades documenting wealth and consumerism and the influence of affluence. This is a brilliantly made, highly entertaining, alarming and hilarious movie.Loved it!

JustCuriosity Photographer/Director Laurie Greenfield's Generation Wealth was extremely well-received at Austin's SXSW Film Festival (coming off of its appearances at Sundance and the Berlin Film Festival). It is a remarkable cinematic journey as she revisits those she has photographed for previous projects which have often focused on excessive wealth. Greenfield eloquently captures the decaying of the American Dream as a form of corrupt capitalism has eaten away at American idealism and replaced it with a form extreme narcistic materialism. In many ways this film explains - while barely mentioning him - how this country could elect corrupt narcissist as its President. It describes a country where beauty, sex, fame, and status have all become commodities on sale to the highest bidder Greenfield takes it a step further by intriguingly adding herself and her own family as part of the story and suggesting that her careerism is also part of the problem. The photography is beautiful and provides a powerful narrative of the collapse of the American Dream. Highly recommended to all who care about the future of America. Greenfield should be commended for a work that is both personal and political.
