I still want to screen my doc at the DNC in Boston |

Anybody involved with an organization that can get us on a film program? If we can reach a total audience of 500 or more, we'll come to Boston to attend. "(Michael Moore) will have to deal with the reality of oil peaking globally, although the recent documentary The End of Suburbia beat him to the punch." - Jan Lundberg, culturechange.org
"...it's one of the most important docs in recent years." - Anthony Lappe, Guerrilla News Network

Since World War II North Americans have invested much of their newfound wealth in suburbia. It has promised a sense of space, affordability, family life and upward mobility. As the population of suburban sprawl has exploded in the past 50 years, so too the suburban way of life has become embedded in the American consciousness.
Suburbia, and all it promises, has become the American Dream.
But as we enter the 21st century, serious questions are beginning to emerge about the sustainability of this way of life. With brutal honesty and a touch of irony, The End of Suburbia 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. World Oil Peak and the inevitable decline of fossil fuels are upon us now, some scientists and policy makers argue in this documentary. The consequences of inaction in the face of this global crisis are enormous. What does Oil Peak mean for North America? 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 ?

1. Sorry no, the only thing I can think of is asking at either |
|
Atrios or Kos. Both are going and maybe others on their blogs would have some connections.
Your film on Peak Oil sounds very interesting and would be a worthwhile addition to the convention.
