Barry Silverthorn will be in California from June 21st through June 27th to promote the documentary END of SUBURBIA as well as to promote awareness about the issue of oil depletion. He was motivated to make the documentary after learning about the dependency of industrial society on fossil fuels and learning about the imminent crisis. Barry will be attending screenings of END of SUBURBIA in Los Angeles on the 21st and 23rd and in Berkeley on the 24th and 25th.

Excerpt from synopsis at www.endofsuburbia.com
Suburbia, and all it promises, has become the American Dream. But as we enter the 21st century, serious questions are beginning to emerge about the sustainability of this way of life. 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.
Reviews:

"By being engaging, indeed amusing in places, The END of SUBURBIA will help to bring the issue to a much wider public" - Julian Darley, Founder of the Post Carbon Institute
