Radiant City

A documentary about suburban sprawl and the psychosis behind it. The camera follows a standard American family that has decided to move to the suburbs from the inner city. The soccer mom who is overwhelmed, the dad who wonders why he is putting up with a 4 hour commute and the kids who with their infinite fluidity seem to glide around while their parents struggle. Well interspersed with expert interviews and strange facts; this film keeps you engaged, enthralled and scared.
