Q+A with director of SAGEBRUSH GOLD: Marcus Widger


The spring moon in California is marked by the annual transportation of bees from across the country to pollinate millions of almond trees in the Central Valley. Shot over the course of one moon cycle, Continuum looks at wind, water, bees and soil meet human hands and industry, to create a portrait of modern agriculture.
