What people are saying

“Sometimes you watch a film and wish it could be screened in every school, not just for the pupils but also their parents and teachers. This is one such film. It’s a documentary full of passion, insight, understanding, compassion and common sense, with a vibrant dash of fun, colour and vivacity.”

Rehna AzimMoviemarker · ★★★★

“This informative and emotive film expertly highlights the profound impact that social media is having on the wellbeing of young people. It captures a generational injustice and the collective failure of both companies and law makers to protect the rights and needs of young people online.”

“Gen Z aren’t going to go down without a fight.”

“I Am Gen Z is an unflinching look at how society’s rules, designed for an analogue world, just don’t work in the digital one.”

Ali McClaryUnited Kingdom

“It was really refreshing to watch a film where Gen Z wasn’t villainised. The film had a great empathy for our generation.”

Victoria KobergFilm editor, Sein, Denmark

“I learned a lot watching this film and, even though some of the content is quite upsetting, I do genuinely feel very proud to be a part of Gen Z.”

Hannah CollinsStudent filmmaker, Cambridge · Gen Z viewer

“I saw the film on a Lufthansa flight. It was phenomenal. I would love to share it with other parents in my church to help them understand our Gen Z children better.”
