Escape from Suburbia: Beyond the American Dream is a 2007 Canadian documentary film written and directed by Gregory Greene, as a sequel to Greene's film The End of Suburbia , and set to address what is termed "the upcoming energy crisis".[1] [2] Through interviews with individuals, Gregory Greene outlines potential solutions to the coming energy crisis.[3] [4] [5]
Among the interviewees are former Governor General of Canada Ed Schreyer , author Matthew Simmons , author Richard Heinberg , author Michael Ruppert , author Jeremy Rifkin , author Thomas Homer-Dixon , U.S. Representative from Maryland Roscoe Bartlett , former CIA director James Woolsey , author and speaker James Howard Kunstler , and political activist and journalist Kate Holloway.
Background [ edit ]
The film resulted from director Gregory Greene having attended a Paris conference on peak oil in 2003. Returning to Canada, he devised a trilogy of non fiction films addressing the issues global peaking of oil supplies adversely affecting modern civilization. The first of his trilogy, The End of Suburbia: Oil Depletion and the Collapse of the American Dream , deals with the problem of rising world costs in the face of dwindling supplies.[6]
The second in the trilogy, Escape From Suburbia: Beyond the American Dream , outlines how the issue will affect modern life styles and speaks toward solutions.[1] [7] The film first aired on Sundance Channel in 2007,[8] and re-aired as part of their The Green television series.[9]
