The v.o. narration is a bit cringe-worthy tbh but I've been looking forward to this for a while. It's based on the book Teenage: The Prehistory of Youth Culture: 1875-1945 by Jon Savage (http://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Prehistory-Youth-Culture-1875-1945/dp/0140254153) so for now I'm optimistic that the actual doc will be more substantial than the trailer seems to imply. Build up in the last 15 seconds has me stoked though.
