Sonoma County : A Community Portrait

A local interview series that draws a picture of Sonoma County California in a set of sharply drawn, three-dimensional portraits of some of the remarkable individuals that call this green land home. At depth, each interview is warm, fun, flashing with insight and inspiration as interviewer Cincinnatus Hibbard explores the emotional taproots of what each guest does in and for Sonoma County, bringing forth the lessons and the value of each life lived here. Together this set of interviews begins to describe a web of inter-relations across our cross sectional divide and an emergent sense of who we are as Sonomans - our essence, our values, and where we are headed as a community.
