OK, Boomer

Daniel Kupšovský

OK, Boomer

This documentary examines the ongoing battle of generational stereotypes in the media. Baby Boomers, often criticized for supporting fossil fuels and economic destruction, face opposition from younger generations, Y and Z, who are labeled "Snowflakes" for their perceived fragility and focus on individuality. These generational divides stem from differing formative experiences, access to information, and communication styles. Daniel Kupšovský explores this debate, asking whether the conflict is real or driven by narratives. He speaks with experts from various fields to uncover insights and foster a positive conversation about reconciliation.
