New Documentary ‘Generation Wealth’ Shows Us A Damning Reflection On Modern Consumerism

We're always told "money can't buy happiness" and while we can maybe argue it probably could definitely help facilitate it, this documentary trailer definitely has us thinking more about our money mentality. 

For years, photographer Lauren Greenfield has traveled the world documenting life and culture and noticed an overarching theme throughout it all, no matter how much wealth someone has they always want more.

Now, through this new documentary Generation Wealth, Greenfield is painting a pretty damning picture of just how greedy we've become as a society.

Just in the few clips of interviews in this trailer, they are a bit extreme but still accurately portray the attitude of consumerism as a whole in our society. 

Not that we're all disgustingly wealthy, or greedy like some of these people, it can help us point our own fingers back at our own workaholic or potentially excessive spending habits.
