About This Movie

Generations is an intriguing exploration of the often hidden impacts of coal power in America. Lynne Siefert's static shots give this documentary a unique pacing, almost meditative, as we see these towering structures, the smoke rising in the air, set against varying backdrops - rural hills, cityscapes, different seasons. It’s like a canvas, capturing the essence of industrialization and its relentless presence in our landscape. There's something almost haunting about the way these power stations loom over their environments, reminding us of the cost of energy. No flashy edits or interviews here, just the raw, unfiltered reality of these massive plants. The film’s distinct approach leaves you pondering the legacy of coal in a changing world.
