Suburbia, and all its promises, has become a lifestyle predicated on the dwindling availability of cheap and abundant oil. In Escape from Suburbia, Canadian 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 citizens groups is confronting our addiction to oil with vision and courage.
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.
