Somewhere in between the last two decades the swag of youth changed, it started to move different, to politic different, to rap and groove different. It grew tired of gatekeepers telling it what was in vogue and fashioned new ways to brand ‘cool’ different. Tech giants introduced gadgets, phones, platforms, new concepts in sharing and soon after, youth started to document different, they began to form new and imaginative conversations about what it meant to be. What it meant to be active, what it meant to be engaged, what it meant to be employed, in love, in shape, in power. But most important to some what it meant to be seen and belong.

2020 may well be defined by the trauma of an 8 minute and 46 second video that disseminated across the internet. A moment of urgency that drove young people to the streets across the world in the midst of a global pandemic. Some may consider 2020 the end of an epoch, or an era of capitalism that is reaching its inevitable conclusion. But what is it about the events between 2000-2020 that have characterised such a seismic generational shift? Enter YOU. TH a 9-part docu-series that will dig deeper than any single-issue trending topic and disseminate the impact that young people have made over the past 20 years. We will present a perspective that has not been seen or considered before. As ambitious as it sounds, this will be a beguiling series about YOU.TH that will take a radical and subversive approach to documentary filmmaking and will be truly original and groundbreaking in its execution.
