"Bound to become a smash hit."—Iowa Boy Chuck Offenburger
Pie is not only an iconic American dessert, it is a nonpartisan symbol of kindness, comfort, generosity, unity, and love—all the things we need more of right now. To convey how something as simple as a homemade pie can make the world a better place, filmmaker, author, and piemaker Beth M. Howard aims her lens at her native Iowa, where pie is woven into the state’s cultural fabric from church fundraisers to old diners, farmers markets, myriad pie shops, international flavors, Iowa State Fair competitions, and the next generation of piemakers. Wholesome, heartfelt, and hopeful, this documentary is as satisfying as a slice of warm apple pie.
