Teenage
United StatesDocumentary1 Hour 18 Mins
Teenagers didn't always exist. They had to be invented. As the cultural landscape around the world was thrown into turmoil during the industrial revolution, the concept of a new generation took shape. Whether in America, England, or Germany, whether party-crazed Flappers or hip Swing Kids, zealous Nazi Youth or frenzied Sub-Debs, it didn't matter - this was a new idea of youth. Documentary by Matt Wolf based on John Savage’s book "Teenage: The Creation of Youth Culture."
