Escape from Suburbia: Beyond the American Dream(2007)

Escape from Suburbia: Beyond the American Dream is a documentary that explores practical solutions to America's energy crisis. Following up on his 2004 film The End of Suburbia, director Gregory Greene shifts focus from the problem of oil dependency to actionable answers. The film profiles individuals and communities across the country who are actively confronting peak oil realities and pioneering sustainable alternatives. Through their stories, Greene examines how ordinary people are challenging conventional lifestyles and inspiring systemic change. Rather than dwelling on catastrophe, Escape from Suburbia demonstrates that transformation is possible when communities commit to rethinking energy, consumption, and the future of American life.
