    great use of animation to make a point

    This film was a great and terrible education in how highways, suburbia and political will can change our natural resources. It's played in Austin several times and I'm sure it will be back again - it's been at SXSW (2007) and at the Alamo and the Paramount (for all you Austinites who missed it) and I think it will be back. The conclusion that there are no easy answers is thoughtfully balanced out by the provocative questions these filmmakers asked. I encourage everyone who can to see this film.
