Perry Farrell Explains How ‘Lollapalooza’ Documentary Bridges the Generation Gap Between Gen X and Z | Video

Sundance 2024: “The one thing that really struck me while making this is how it almost mirrors modern day,” director Michael John Warren tells TheWrap

The new Sundance documentary “Lolla: The Story of Lollapalooza” explores the origins and cultural impact of the iconic ’90s music festival Lollapalooza. But according to director Michael John Warren and Lollapalooza co-founder Perry Farrell, the film also draws important parallels between Generation X in the ’90s and Generation Z today.

“The one thing that really struck me while making this is how it almost mirrors modern day,” Warren said at TheWrap’s Sundance Portrait and Interview Studio presented by NFP. “When we were kids we were pissed about the environment, police brutality, what was going on in the Supreme Court. So much has changed but also stayed the same.”
