Social media: a helpful tool in communication or a medium to create mindless banter? In part 5 of the series, we ask how young adults these days approach this generation-defining platform. Young Americans is an eight-part documentary series about what really went down in 2012 and what young people had to say about it. Filmmaker Lance Bangs and company traveled across the United States talking to hundreds of young people about their hopes, fears, concerns and frustrations. From parking lots, backyards, offices, protest sites, parks, couches, and convenience stores a wide range of under represented voices and viewpoints emerged.
