2. Maybe it's only interesting to Hawkeyes?
I still consider myself Iowan even though I haven't lived there for over 30 years.

3. Maybe because it's a low-budget film based in Iowa.
It really has a great story about how corn is in so much of our food, and some not in a good way at all. The way they told the story of all the small farms and their struggle, and how some do not see the bigger picture really got to me. I wish this film could get a larger audience.


Once an Iowan always an Iowan. :)

4. They showed that on PBS a while back.
Maybe it was just my local station. I don't know.
