Wolfson Film Society & Transition Oxford present:The Wednesday Documentaries (Transition Films) The End of Suburbia

This film explores the American Way of Life and its prospects as the planet approaches a critical era, as global demand for fossil fuels begins to outstrip supply. As energy prices skyrocket in the coming years, how will the populations of suburbia react to the collapse of their dream? Are today's suburbs destined to become the slums of tomorrow? And what can be done NOW, individually and collectively, to avoid The End of Suburbia? This film motivated Rob Hopkins to start the Transition Movement!.
