The Fair

NaN•1h 19m•Documentary

Set in a conservative, mostly white Midwestern community – not far from where Abraham Lincoln once lived as a young man – The Fair looks at American rural life and pastimes through the spectacle of an annual county fair. As we witness rituals of livestock judging, craft competitions, pig chases, and an extended behind-the-scenes look at the fair's beauty pageant, the image of a tight-knit community emerges.
