PIEOWA, celebrates the myriad ways pie is woven into Iowa’s (and America’s) culture, the lengths people will go to for a slice, and how this humble pastry can bake the world a better place. The film features comedian Tom Arnold, NPR economics correspondent Scott Horsley (NPR = No Pie Refused), Better Homes & Gardens food editor, among other notable names, alongside everyday people — church ladies, farm wives, pie shop owners, State Fair competitors, chefs, food historians, bike riders, and humanitarians. Wholesome and humorous, it will leave you feeling more hopeful about the world — and hungry for pie. (Beth M. Howard, 2025, USA, 1:16, NR)
