Very seldom does one come across audiovisual works that captivate you due to their content and quality of presentation.
Now I got to see a documentary made by Lauren Greenfield that examines materialism, celebrity culture and social status reflecting on the desire to be rich at all costs. This visual history of the growing obsession with wealth uses first-person interviews in Los Angeles, Moscow, Dubai, China and around the world to bear witness to the boom-and-bust global economy and to document its complicated aftermath.
In 106 minutes this woman, photographer and documentarian, uncomfortable and moved by a striking condition of the American to focus her life on making money as the first and only reason for life, is led to document from her personal life and that of other compatriots why and to that the “vile metal” really exists or should exist, that if it is not well used for something, ends up using its owner, leading him to make mistakes that can even damage his life, how it is projected in this documentary.

This must be seen by anyone who tries to figure out what is behind the existence of the habit of consuming uncontrollably and for no reason, which can sometimes even turn into a mental illness that can cause even society itself to lose its north in a different direction than do not direct to another place that is not the perdition, lack of control and bankruptcy that generates the loss of money.
Generation of Wealth is the name of the documentary that can be found on Netflix and YouTube with a large number of people who have already seen it and it is a recommended work to take into account with the intention of changing the label that the director puts on a consumed generation for consumption.
