Suburban America: A Film

Three-time Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Ron Rudaitis will be here to show and discuss his latest documentary Suburban America: Problems & Promise. Set in a wide array of suburbs around the country, the film presents a dynamic and thought- provoking exploration of suburbia, starting with a profile of the first modern suburban community here on Long Island. It also charts shifting demographics with visits to Muslim-American, Latino, and Asian-American communities, debunks the myths and stereotypes of suburbia, and finally, highlights the best practices of regions that have addressed and solved some of the many challenges of suburbs today. Mr. Rudaitis is an engaging storyteller at heart and this program promises to be both educational and inspirational.
