Fresh Juice

What makes a great juice that keeps everyone healthy? Art and his dad discover it takes carrots ... collards ... cayenne ... and community!

When Art's father can't get over a cold, Art knows exactly what his daddy needs: some delicious sick-fighting juice!

But finding some ginger will take them downtown, to the farmers' market, to the food co-op, to the West African grocery ... to an unexpected encounter that brings everyone together, and results in a tasty celebration.
