Opening:
"Yes" will be your instant answer if you believe that you are lazy, self-indulged, consumed by technology and well, because you're reading this magazine! But these are the myths that you believe in

We meet with the director of a new one-off documentary, Claudia Smith, who gives us an insight on the analysis of millennials and their associated stereotypes, this is what she had to say

 First:

"I’ve always had an interest in the generation that we live in, I strongly believe I am a millennial – so I had to make a documentary about me!” She carries on explaining how Channel 5 commissions gave her this opportunity to produce something unique, therefore she had to "grasp at the chance to produce something entertaining" yet report on the current issues that millennials face every day. A walk down the garden, we asked Claudia a couple questions…

 Second/Third:

GY Editor in Chief: What was your drive in making this documentary?

Claudia Smith: I saw there was a gap in the market – I only saw documentaries reporting on historical facts and not hot topics; excluding the fast-growing population of millennials. This was my chance to create something modern for Channel 5. You can see it Sunday 30^th November at 10pm.

GY: What can we expect from the show?

CS: It’ll be a different format to your typical documentaries, the show is based on ‘question and answer’. I wanted viewers to feel like they can have a say and relate themselves to other millennials in the show. We see a young girl, Lily Fakile who answers whether she “is consumed by social media”, her answer shocked the crew as she described it as a drug – “you don’t realise how much you’re on it until you start to crave the need to always be on your phone”.


GY: Is there a particular part in the show that may shock viewers?


CS: Not so much shocked but they will be surprised to find that not all stereotypes are negative. Many of our participants named positive stereotypes (add more from interviews)
