Épisode 1 - Alternative Goes Mainstream
14 février 2016 - 4.5/5
Members of Gen X, the 65 million people sandwiched between the much larger groups of baby boomers and millennials, are often thought to be cynics, slackers and loners, a characterization brought to life in the disillusionment movie “Reality Bites.” In the first of six episodes, Generation X explores the roots of this generation by looking at the forces that shaped it, from the stalemate of the Vietnam War, the increasing divorce rate, the growing latchkey kid phenomenon, the resignation of Nixon and the rise of grunge.
Épisode 2 - Truth Be Told
21 février 2016 - 5/5
When Julian Assange created WikiLeaks, it was no coincidence that he was a member of Generation X. After decades of watching government corruption scandals unfold, such as Iran Contra and the Pentagon Papers, Gen-Xers developed a distrust of those in power, further evidenced by paranoia films like “Dr. Strangelove” and “War Games.” The decades-long forces that led to the WikiLeaks release are examined through original interviews and memorable footage.

28 février 2016 - 4.5/5
