sprawling from grace: the consequences of suburbanization

Our love affair with the automobile is unsustainable…the wake up call is coming.

This eye-opening documentary explores the ravages of American suburban sprawl, what America has lost as a result, and the perils we face if we don't change the way in which we build our cities. Americans have been lulled into a false sense of security by cheap energy that has allowed us to spread endlessly into our landscape.

We are trapped behind the wheels of our automobiles and with the demand for oil outpacing the Earth's ability to supply it, this suburban living arrangement will fail. Our love affair with the automobile is unsustainable…the wake up call is coming.
