The Apple Pushers, narrated by Edward Norton, follows the inspiring stories of five immigrant pushcart vendors who are rolling fresh fruits and vegetables into New York City's food deserts - neighborhoods where finding a ripe, red apple is a serious challenge and where obesity rates are skyrocketing. These micro-entrepreneurs, who hail from Ecuador, Russia, Mexico, and Bangladesh, are at the heart of a unique urban strategy, the Green Cart Initiative, which seeks to increase the availability of fresh produce in under-served communities, in an effort to combat the obesity epidemic found in so many of America's cities.

| User ReviewTira BThis is a great movie. I really enjoyed it -- every minute of it. It is so nice to see real working solutions to so many problems solved in such a simple and time honoured way. Of the things I liked most about this movie was how returning to the past -- push cart vendors in New York -- is helping so many people build a better future -- for themselves, and for New York. Great movie! |
