Pieowa: A Piece of America

KCRW Presents “Pieowa: A Piece of America.” Pieowa celebrates the myriad ways pie is baked into Iowa’s—and America’s—culture, the lengths people will go to for a slice, and how this humble pastry can make the world a better place. Featuring comedian Tom Arnold, NPR economics correspondent Scott Horsley (NPR = No Pie Refused), Better Homes & Gardens food editor, church ladies, State Fair competitors, food historians, bike riders, pie shop owners, and more. Wholesome, uplifting, and humorous, it will leave you both hopeful and hungry for pie. The LA Times calls it “a soulful slice of Americana."

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

Following the film there will be a Q&A and book signing with the filmmaker and author Beth Howard, and pie will be served.

Howard will be a celebrity pie judge at KCRW’s PieFest at the Autry Museum on March 14.
