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 ?
