Known historically as the Orchard of England, Herefordshire is apple country. This film brings together a wide-ranging and eccentric cast of local people – farmers, Travellers, former apple-pickers, clergymen, wassailers, cider makers, fruit sellers – to explore the deep relationship between the people of this area and its historic crop. Part portrait of a fading way of life, part celebration of how a living culture continues to manifest itself, the film raises deep questions about human nature. Expect games, pies, dancing, petty crime, and varieties of apple beyond your most delirious dreams. Prepare to honour the apple. 

Directed by: Louis Norris  

Co-producers Hilary Lyon, Louis Norris and Jonathan Ben-Shaul will introduce the film with a Q&A to follow.
