"Janeane from Des Moines"

Jane Edith Wilson and Grace Lee
John Pemble / Iowa Public Radio

Janeane from Des Moines follows the story of one Iowa voter as she tries to decide who she will support in the caucuses. This movie is not a documentary, Janeane is played by an actress but the candidates are real and there are moments in the film where the drama crosses the line from fiction into fact.

Director Grace Lee and lead actress Jane Edith Wilson talk with Charity Nebbe about the formatting of the film, the interactions with the various Republican presidential candidates, and the development of the "ordinary citizen" that is Janeane Wilson.

Charity Nebbe is the host of IPR's Talk of Iowa
