Apple Doesn't Fall is a show that explores the connection to family. It's derived from the old saying "an apple doesn't fall far from the tree”. However, in this case, the metaphor refers to the “apple” as a member of one's family and the “tree” as the family itself. Whether family members pass away, move away or are still at the center of the family, family legacy and heritage can still stand strong. It's a series of interviews with members of the Jordan and Baker families intended to capture and archive stories not only about the lives of those interviewed but also family no longer with us.
