LITTLE FOREST HILLS — Dean Terry's documentary, Subdivided: Isolation and Community in America, will air on KERA channel 13 at 8 PM Wednesday.
According to the film's official site:
Subdivided is a documentary film about life in contemporary suburbia: a personal study of isolation and the struggle to find and maintain maintain community in an era of careless development, the uninspired design of the modern subdivision, urban sprawl, and the invasion of the McMansion.
With American life more divisive than ever, even our neighborhoods often encourage isolation and separation. With no sense of place or belonging, is this the new American Dream?
The film is written and directed by Dean Terry and features interviews with Andres Duany, James Howard Kunstler and Robert Putnam, with aerial photos by Jim Wark.
Robert Wilonsky loves the film, which largely focuses on McMansions in Little Forest Hills. Local blogger Michael Davis did too.
