END OF SUBURBIA
How Much Oil is left on this planet? When will we peak?
As we enter the 21st century, serious questions are beginning to emerge about the sustainability of our way of life. With brutal honesty and a touch of irony, The End of Suburbia explores the North American Way of Life 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.

"...you've probably never put all the pieces together like this movie does." - Dan, Internet Movie Database

"...it's one of the most important docs in recent years." - Anthony Lappe, Guerrilla News Network

"I would say it does for suburban sprawl/related mindless consumerist energy addiction what Fahrenheit 9/11 did for Bush." - Giselle, Texas

"The End of Suburbia is a perfect tool for introducing people to peak oil. Just enough humor to sugarcoat the bitter pill." - Jason, California

THE STORY OF STUFF
with Annie Leonard
From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever.

"The Story of Stuff is brilliant! Annie Leonard is on point from start to finish and makes us laugh and moves us to take action, all at the same time. I especially liked the way she centers people and power in the film. This is a one of a kind, powerful work that I will show to my family, friends, and students again and again."
—David N. Pellow, Professor of Ethnic Studies, University of California, San Diego, and author of “Garbage Wars”
