Episodes
Apprehensive toward organised religion and intrigued by the lengths young people go to in expressing their faith, a young filmmaker undergoes a personal journey into the spirit of a generation.
If fifty is the new forty, what is twenty-one? Y 21 follows the antics of three Gen Y'ers as they celebrate their 21st birthdays - they all want big parties, but are they ready to be adults?
With Australia's innate desire to own a home coupled with recent high costs of housing - how will Generation Y tackle these difficult conditions and achieve the dream of owning your own home?
Watch out if you don't like ethnic Australians! Music/comedy act F.O.B. are young, ethnic-proud and outspoken. Of Malaysian, Indian, Filipino, Egyptian and Assyrian heritage, these Generation Y Melbournians are pushing cultural buttons and seeking notoriety by taking their unique brand of ethnic comedy out to the most public domain they can find: Federation Square. In the current political climate could they face a backlash?
At Adelaide University, a feather-weight crop of student politicians prepare to battle for control of the Student Union. On the one hand these Gen Yers are driven, self-confident and highly ambitious; on the other hand the student body that must elect them is apathetic and cynical. These polar Gen Y views come together in election week as student politicians try to convince, cajole and coerce fellow students into voting for them. "Electioneering" follows David Wilkins, leader of the right faction of Labor on campus. He's on a mission to change the world starting with the Adelaide University Union (AUU). With Voluntary Student Unionism (VSU) leading to a massive drop in union membership, the Union's coffers have been decimated and it won't be long before it's bankrupt. Some hard decisions will need to be made and David believes he's the guy to make them. David's main ally is Rhiannon, one of his best friends and leader of the left faction of Labor on campus. They have opposed each other bitterly in the past, but they believe they need to work together to save the union. Make no mistake, they might be friends, but their alliance is based on a calculated political decision. In this world, politics comes first. Using a mix of political cartoons, animations and candid interviews with student politicians and their prey - the average student - this episode of the "mY Generation" series looks at Generation Y from a unique perspective through the prism of politics. Nothing divides or polarizes as the big 'P', and this film goes behind the lines to see just how far our candidates will go to win power...
