Meet Ann, a remarkable woman born in Iowa in 1949. This heartwarming documentary takes you through her life, from her early days as an only child with a deep love for animals to growing up in Ottumwa, Iowa.

​

Back then, Iowa was all about hard work, tight-knit communities, and strong family values. Ann's parents owned a small grocery store in Ottumwa, where she spent much of her childhood. Everyone knew each other, and the community's support was invaluable.

​

Ann's life took a turn when she lost her father as a young girl, a moment that deeply influenced her path. But she found strength and compassion in the bonds of her close-knit community. During her college years in the 1960s, amidst a changing America, she met Howard, her soulmate. Their love story has spanned over 50 years, filled with unwavering support and deep affection.

​

Together, they raised two children and now enjoy their role as grandparents to multiple grandchildren. Ann's kindness and resilience are evident in everything she does, a true reflection of the values she grew up with in Iowa.

​

It was an incredible honor to capture Ann's stories.
