How can it be that the Inland Empire grows
the best oranges in the world, but you
can't find a local orange
in your local supermarket?

 

This poetic and insightful documentary explores the epic history and endangered future of citrus in the Inland Empire. Just as the last remaining groves are in the crosshairs of development, a movement for community supported agriculture is making a stand against the skewed priorities of the global economy.

Orange Sunrise is multi-layered, powerful, visually intriguing, and its implications go way beyond local citrus farming.
