If nothing else, Generation Lost has one attribute that most music DVDs lack: an interesting hook. Sure, it has the usual stuff—music videos, making-of-the-video featurettes, and live-performance footage—but a mini-documentary called How We Survive deviates from the norm by focusing on the fans of Chicago punk band Rise Against. Director-producer Davy Rothbart (of Found magazine fame) followed Rise Against during part of Warped Tour '06, then occasionally stayed behind to interview fans at their homes. There's Markus, a 17-year-old African-American kid whose skin color alone makes him stand out at Warped Tour. There's Bill, a 47-year-old family man and right-wing Republican (especially curious, considering Rise Against's outspoken left-wing views). There's Phil, a teenager who works as a camp counselor.
