Hello, and welcome back to The Director's Cut, brought to you by the Directors Guild of America.

In this episode, a group of teenagers who made a life-changing documentary revisit their community years later in directors Amanda McBain and Jesse Moss' documentary, Teenage Wasteland.

Screened as part of the DGA's documentary series, the film follows a group of 1990s teenagers who made a student documentary about a mysterious brown muck surfacing at the local dump in their town.

Thirty years later, they revisit their film and the transformative experience that uncovered a vast conspiracy poisoning their community.

In addition to Teenage Wasteland, McBain and Moss's other directorial credits include the documentary feature Girls' State.

They were nominated for the 2021 DGA Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Documentary for their film Boys' State.

Moss was also nominated for the 2015 Documentary Award for his film The Overnighters.

Following the documentary series screening of the film at the DGA Theater in Los Angeles, McBain and Moss spoke with director Alice Gu about filming Teenage Wasteland.
