Subtitled "Oil Depletion and the Collapse of the American Dream",
this intellectually ambitious archival-footage essay offers a
comprehensive forecast of the bleak future predicted by the Peak Oil
hypothesis. With diminishing petroleum supplies, Post-War plans for
sprawling communities linked to the cities by car-coursed freeways
can now be more clearly seen as logical cul-de-sacs. This thoroughly
researched Canadian doc enriches the argument through interviews,
industrial footage, and a well-chosen dose of irony. Opening the
program is Heather Roger's "The Hidden Life of Garbage" (soon to be
published in book form),
a bracing 20-min. inquiry into the forgotten fate of Everyman's
trash. Bicyclists get free popcorn!
