Narrated by Oscar Award-winning Actress Laura Dern, The Endangered Generation? is a documentary film that explores the critical issue of climate change and its impact on future generations. Through interviews with experts, activists, and young people from around the world, the film explores the urgent need to take action to protect our planet.
Directed by Celeste Greer, The Endangered Generation? was made in partnership with Monash University and marks the first collaboration with a client to produce a long-form documentary. Sweetshop is known for producing award-winning commercials, films, and branded content – while Sweetshop & Green are a production company focused on producing local film and television for global audiences.
Monash University provided support for the project, research assistance, access to experts and resources. The involvement of Monash University underscores the importance of collaboration between academia and the creative industries in addressing complex global challenges such as climate change.
Gal Greenspan said, “We are proud to have partnered with Monash to bring this important and impactful project to life. Sweetshop & Green are always looking for new and innovative ways to tell stories that will captivate audiences and make a lasting impact.”
Sharlene George said, “Storytelling lies at the core of everything Sweetshop & Green, and we have loved this opportunity to create meaningful content in collaboration with clients that will make a difference.”
