ESCAPE FROM SUBURBIA

Description

Suburbia, and all its promises, has become the American Dream — a lifestyle predicated on the dwindling availability of cheap and abundant oil. In ESCAPE FROM SUBURBIA, director Gregory Greene (THE END OF SUBURBIA, 2004) introduces three engaging characters and a small town who move us from the realm of theory to the real world where an emerging movement of citizen’s groups is confronting our addiction to oil with vision and courage. But are they crackpots or Cassandras? This film is a wake-up call that challenges the illusion of never-ending growth and examines alternatives for a more sustainable society in the 21st century and beyond.
