Summary
Urban sprawl is eating the planet. Politicians call it growth. Developers call it business. The Moss family calls it home. While Evan Moss zones out in commuter traffic, Ann boils over in her dream kitchen and the kids play sinister games amidst the fresh foundations of monster houses. As suburban communities are examined and criticized by a chorus of experts, filmmaker Gary Burns and journalist Jim Brown peer into the windows and lives of those who call suburbia home. Venturing into territory both familiar and foreign, they turn the documentary genre inside out, crafting a vivid account of life in the Late Suburban Age.
