Gregory Greene, Director
As part of THE GREEN, Sundance Channel presents a series of documentary films focusing on timely and pressing environmental issues of the day.
Half a century ago, suburbia was hailed as the solution to urban decay. Now, in the light of diminishing oil supplies, economic woes and unsustainable lifestyles, many concerned citizens are rethinking their options. In the second part of a projected documentary trilogy, filmmaker Greg Green follows the journeys of people who alter their lives in light of our addiction to fossil fuels. One family moves to a Canadian ecovillage; another couple leaves New York to till the land, and a third reworks suburbia by making it green and sustainable.
