The Iowa Prairie Documentary Project is direct by Charlie Morris (of Iowa City), launched in August of 2025. It is an all volunteer project and funded by donations. It’s multi-media, which means you can interact with it in a number of ways.
Videos and Podcast Interviews
I decided with this project that the stakes for Iowa are too high…and that every bit of each interview should be available for anyone who wants to take the time to watch or listen to the full length Interviews.
Substack
I’ve been a writer for quite a while. Writing is how I process things and make sense of the world. While working on the movie, I post updates and titrations of thought to help me figure out what to do next.
Iowa: And The Broken Circle (feature length documentary)
The movie will premiere in Iowa on September 11, 2026. It will then show in numerous venues around the state for 2 months. Run time will be around 90 minutes followed up by a 30 minute Q&A.
After the Movie Tour
There are far too many interesting Iowans and too much fascinating Iowa history to pack into one movie. While working on this film I have seen and experienced some very wild things. A book is an ideal format for fuller exploration of these topics. I plan on starting in on the book around January of 2027. Know any publishers?
This project will be ongoing in different formats. I recommend keeping up via my FB page.
I have already begun collecting information for a second movie. The topic of this followup film will be about Overspray and Chemical Drift in the state of Iowa.
