Pieowa: A Piece of America

Pie is not only an iconic American dessert, it is a nonpartisan symbol 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, the next generation of piemakers, and a 500-mile bike ride across the state where people come from all over the world just to eat pie. We learn how pie, an immigrant that can be traced back to ancient Egypt, is as diverse as America’s population. Wholesome, heartfelt, and hopeful, PIEOWA: A PIECE OF AMERICA, is as satisfying as a slice of warm apple pie.

Run time: 116 minutes. For more info visit www.pieowa.com
