I Am Gen Z

British documentary filmmaker Liz Smith and American ethnographer Noelle Cook embark on a road trip from DC to Idaho with January 6th insurrectionist Yvonne. They set out on the trip just after Yvonne has been sentenced to two and a half years in prison for her part in the storming of The Capitol and has been told she must self-report to prison in 6 weeks time. En route they visit friends of Yvonne and hear about their respective journeys of “awakening”. Yvonne takes Liz and Noelle on an intense journey into her labyrinth of conspiracy, but is disappointed when, by the end of the trip, she has not succeeded in her mission to elevate them out of their 3D world and help them to see the truth.

A British story of dissent, drawn from the frontlines of climate resistance. Through the experiences of those who stood in defiance, it traces the quiet unraveling of our protest rights. The film challenges audiences to question what makes dissent effective and where the line of acceptability is.
