Once upon a time, teenagers didn’t exist. We were invented, thrown into being. This film, Teenage (2013), covers the years of 1904 – 1945. It is not an easy narrative, but it is the very history and unmeasurable impact of youth and our culture. To quote the late and great Huey Newton, “The revolution has always been in the hands of the young. The young always inherit the revolution.”
