The Unforeseen

The American dream of owning a house with a white picket fence goes head to head with environmental sustainability in this urgent, beautifully crafted documentary. When a ambitious real estate developer sets out to transform thousands of acres of pristine hill country in Austin, Texas into a suburban development – threatening a nearby natural spring – the community fights back. In the conflict that ensues, we see in miniature a struggle that is playing out in cities and towns across the country. Breathtaking in score, The Unforeseen questions what we’re willing to give up in the name of growth.
