Orange Sunrise (2007)
A juicy story that has a peel!
Today the last vestiges of citrus farming around Redlands and Riverside in Southern California evoke a way of life that once defined the California dream.

Orange Sunrise tells the history of an industry and a way of life. --- A year in the making, Orange Sunrise explains how citrus once blanketed Southern California and defined the California Dream for the rest of America and beyond.
