"Greenfield binds the film's far-flung concerns before coming to rest on a spot she's been aiming at all along: love matters more than money." - Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
"Precise, eye-opening, and absolutely chilling." - Kate Erbland, Indiewire
OFFICIAL SELECTION: SXSW Film Festival, Berlin International Film Festival
From Lauren Greenfield (The Queen of Versailles), Generation Wealth is an extraordinary visual history of our growing obsession with wealth. Through riveting first-person interviews, Greenfield's journey starts in Los Angeles and spreads across America and beyond, as she documents how we export the values of materialism, celebrity culture, and social status to every corner of the globe. We embark on this journey with Greenfield as she travels the world - from Los Angeles to Moscow, Dubai to China - bearing witness to the global boom-and-bust economy and documenting its complicated consequences.
Provoking serious reflection, Generation Wealth is not about the rich, but the desire to be wealthy, at any cost.
