'Season of Discontent' Project Voices Millennial Anxieties

In April of this year, the Pew Research Center announced that Millennials had surpassed Baby Boomers as the largest age demographic in the country. Given their dominance, the votes of young adults this election cycle can make or break a candidate. Photographers supported by The GroundTruth Project were dispatched across the country to document the issues and concerns of everyday people from an emerging generation facing a myriad of obstacles.

The resulting body of work 'Season of Discontent' captures the distress and anxieties many Millennials face as they chase their vision of the American dream. Photographers interviewed young citizens protesting a police shooting, rural Americans dealing with drug addiction and homelessness and people hailing from one of the most liberal corridors in the nation. The following images and quotes are excerpts from the work. Some quotes have been condensed for brevity. The full report and visual presentation can be found here
