Futures Forum: Climate Change: the film
Ten years ago, in 2004, a documentary came out which gave a hard look at how these issues affect how we live today:
THE END OF SUBURBIA

written and directed by Toronto-based filmmaker Gregory Greene.

Although there have been other films made on this same theme:
Sprawling from Grace: The Consequences of Suburbanization
This film encapsulates one of the primary reasons I became interested in urban planning: the environmental impacts of our urban development patterns. Beyond these impacts, the movie looks at the reality of peak oil and the upcoming brick wall our economy faces when the realities of the situation become fully realized.
Beyond the natural environment, this documentary also considers some of the consequences to the human environment and loss of community that comes from the suburban lifestyle.
