Synopsis by Cammila Collar

This hard hitting documentary takes a look at the extremely unique challenges faced by parents of kids born after 1990 - dubbed, Gen iY. Bombarded by the media in ways that no previous generation has faced, the kids of Gen iY risk self absorption, arrested adolescence, entitled behavior, and addiction to media and entertainment. However, the documentary explores the options parents have to make concerted decisions about their parenting, to mitigate these factors, and instead, help kids utilize the unique opportunities offered to them by modern society in order to become better adults.
