In 2007, PBS released a special documentary on Millennials that centered around interviews with me and Bill.  LifeCourse Associates has just been able to release the DVD  for sale on our website, and I thought you might be interested.  You can access it here.

Here’s the announcement from our site:

Announcing “Millennials,” a PBS Special Featuring Neil Howe and William Strauss

LifeCourse is pleased to announce the release of a 2007 PBS special documentary, Millennials: A Profile of the Next Great Generation, now available for sale in our bookstore.  Using the research of generational experts and bestselling authors Neil Howe and William Strauss, the documentary examines today’s rising Millennial Generation of youth.  Who are the Millennials?  What forces have shaped them as a generation?  And do they have what it takes to deal with the many political, environmental, and cultural issues that may now be reaching a crisis point?  This documentary looks for answers.  It brings the insights of Howe and Strauss to life through in-depth interviews with the authors as well as personal stories of Millennials coming of age.

    Neil-
    I don't know how much you keep up on young up-and-coming talent in the film industry; but I was wondering if you could think of any young actresses right now who you believe stand a chance of becoming this saeculem's Katherine Hepburn, Bette Davis, or Judy Garland? There are a few Millennial actresses who I believe have a lot of potential; I'll name some that I think may have bright careers ahead of them: Scarlett Johanssen (b. 1984), Ellen Page (b. 1987), Kat Dennings (b. 1986), Olivia Thirlby (b. 1986), Emma Stone (b. 1988), Evan Rachel Wood (b. 1987), Abigail Breslin (b. 1996). I particularly am a fan of Ellen Page, who I think was really good in Juno.

    Can you tell me how long this DVD is? I thought it might be interesting to share with our High School youth group at church.

    Does it give a quick summary of the generational theory? It should make for some interesting discussions with the teens!

    How long is this DVD? I would like to share it with the High School youth group at our church. Should make for some interesting discussions!

    Does it start out with a quick explanation of the generational theory?
