In the theater lobby patrons will find a variety of resource materials on issues related to each evening's film, as well as information on networking/contact opportunities and getting involved in public issues. Subdivided is a documentary film about life in contemporary suburbia: a personal study of isolation and the struggle to find and maintain community in an era of careless development, the uninspired design of the modern subdivision, urban sprawl, and the invasion of the McMansion. American life is more divisive than ever, and poorly designed neighborhoods further encourage isolation and separation. With no sense of place or belonging, is this the new American Dream? The film is directed by Dean Terry and features interviews with Andres Duany, James Howard Kunstler and Robert Putnam. | ||
