Hannah and Soraya are in the business of making rock music with a social conscience. The way Britain currently works, that means they're 'snowflakes', 'social justice warriors', 'virtue signallers'. They've learned to live with the mudslinging, but not happily.Worse than that. It's starting to overwhelm them.Then, out of the blue, they suffer a string of personal and professional crises. Their solution? A change of scene designed to: (1) keep the lid on a looming family cataclysm, and (2) draw artistic inspiration from the pre-musical roots of rock (but without the Beats' misogyny, plus in an eco-friendly car).Hannah and Soraya's Fully Magic Generation-Y *Snowflake* Road Trip across America is a story about the value of family, friendship, left against right, the siren call of social media, celebrity vs. anonymity, creative integrity, true love, drugs & alcohol, literature, sexuality, the 'special relationship', what it means to be a millennial, what kind of world Generation Y is set to inherit.Amongst other things.
