Suburbia: Beyond the American Dream" is the second film in a trilogy by
Toronto documentary filmmaker Gregory Greene.

In his award-winning 2004 film "The End of Suburbia," Greene questioned
prospects for the American way of life as global demand for fossil fuels
begins to exceed supply. The film was the first to introduce thousands
of viewers to the looming challenges of peak oil and helped spawn an
international movement of citizens' groups dedicated to
relocalization—building greater community self-reliance in energy, food,
and economy.

In the sequel, "Escape from Suburbia: Beyond the American Dream," Greene
takes a hard look at the imminent fuel crisis and explores how ordinary
citizens and communities can respond to the situation. Expert research
is balanced with personal stories and interviews to show how declining
oil production has already begun to affect modern life in North America.
