Summary:

The Apple Pushers follows five immigrant street vendors who bring fresh fruits and vegetables to the inner cities of New York, where finding a fresh red ripe apple can be a serious challenge. These pushcart vendors are part of a New York City experiment to help solve the food crisis and the inner city's skyrocketing obesity rates. Narrated by Academy Award nominee Edward Norton, The Apple Pushers is an inspirational story of hard work and dedication to good health.
