APRIL 3rd SCREENING CANCELLED!

April 3rd screening of King Corn has been cancelled. We will show this important film at a future date to be announced. Please mark your calendars for our next film screening on May 1st. Details to follow.

King Corn is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America’s most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat—and how we farm. www.kingcorn.net
