Photographer and filmmaker Lauren Greenfield is an expert in Americans' yearning for material wealth. Since the early '90s, her work has documented our hunger for it in photography books, multiple traveling exhibitions, short films and four documentary features, notably 2012's "The Queen of Versailles," the story of one Florida woman's quest to build a replica of King Louis XIV's home.
Greenfield's latest feature, "Generation Wealth," involves multiple stories, giving viewers a wide view of the cultural and social forces that drive Americans to covet becoming rich above all other goals.
