State of Bacon is a 2014 mockumentary written and directed by Jason Cook, and produced in conjunction with the Blue Ribbon Bacon Festival. It postulates that bacon is one of the most popular foods in the world, and covers the world's largest bacon festival, the founders, and the people that attend.
Featuring the Iowa Bacon Board as they put on the world's largest bacon festival. As people descend on the adult festival, including kids, local news reporters, Icelandic Vikings who want to compete for the world's greatest bacon, and PETA, it demonstrates that bacon brings us all together, even those who don't eat it.
The film has an "invitation only" premiering on May 15, 2014, in Des Moines, Iowa, at the Fleur Cinema & Cafe, with public showings until May 22.
