"Escape from Suburbia" (Movie)


The film "Escape from Suburbia" is a wake up call that challenges the illusion of never ending growth. It examines alternatives for a more sustainable society in the 21st century and beyond.
.
Suburbia with all its promises became the American Dream -- a lifestyle predicated on the dwindling availability of cheap and abundant resources like oil. Escape introduces three engaging characters in a small town who move us from the realm of theory to the real world.
.
There is an emerging movement of citizens' groups confronting our addiction to finite resources. With vision and courage, it is pointing the way to what we can do on our own little island.
