"San Francisco Becomes Fastest-Shrinking City" declares Reuters in 2003. When the filmmakers started shooting American Dream 2.0 in 2000, they had no idea how hard and fast things were going to fall. American Dream 2.0 tells the story of an artist, an immigrant and an entrepreneur, each fighting to realize a dream in the face of instability. As the audience takes a personal journey with Krista, Murali and Axil, it is amazing to see how their stories intersect as their lives unfold. Faced with the uncertainty of the times, American Dream 2.0 is an inspiring film about perseverance and passion.(video:52m)
Of particular interest to the environmental community and those interested in sustainability is the story of Lawrence Axil Comras and his company, Greenhome.com. Greenhome.com didn't get funded in the Internet bubble, but somehow managed to hang on and grow organically while others fell.
