Join Cleveland’s local food warriors for a green screening of King Corn @ Tower Press Group on Fri 3/18. This documentary delves into the world of corn and its many forms that are taking over American food. Meet Kari Moore, Vicky Poole, Ben Bebenroth and learn how to take action against high fructose corn syrup and the big business of corn production.
Synopsis:
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.
Be sure to RSVP.
