The second episode in a ten-part documentary series that presents a British persons' guide to every aspect of the history and practice of becoming the President of the United States.

 

Where even is Iowa?  And beyond the 'Field of Dreams' - the tremendous 1989 adaption of W. P. Kinsella's novel 'Shoeless Joe' starring Kevin Costner - what has ever come out of the state?  Successfull presidential candidates - that's what.  The very first state in the nation to vote for who they want to be each party's nominee, the Iowa Caucuses are an amazing and unique, if often misunderstood, exercise in very direct democracy.

 

Featuring: the state's top pollster J Ann Selzer, Norm Sterzenbach (former Executive Director of the Iowa Democratic Party), the Iowa State Fair, caucus goers Kathy and Ray New of Des Moines and many, many more of the good people of Iowa...
