Synopsis:
DOC: URBAN FRUIT tells the story of urban farmers in Los Angeles, California. They are a diverse group intent to reclaim a skill that has been lost to the industrial food complex. We witness their struggles with the city, their families, nature and themselves. Rishi Kumar gave up a a promising career in Information Technology in order to move back in with his parents and start an urban farm in their backyard. Much to the dismay of most of his traditional Indian-American family. Ron Finley lives in South Central L.A., a food desert. where people don‘t have an alternative to fast food. Ron decided to address the issue by teaching people how to grow food in front of their homes, which unbeknownst to him, was a violation of the city code. Ron fought back and became an internet sensation in the process. Adam and Jenna Barber are a young hipster couple growing vegetables and raising chickens in Mid-City, Los Angeles. The love they discovered for their garden ultimately intensifies their love for each other. They grow food for themselves and trade the surplus to a local restaurant for dining credit.
