Description
The Terre Foods FREE Film Series continues this month with a showing of the film King Corn, Saturday, July 18, at 7pm, in ISU's Performing Arts Center on 7th & Chestnut. From The Boston Globe:
Curt Ellis and Ian Cheney, two recent college grads from Boston, decide to plant and farm an acre of corn in Iowa. For a year they watch their crop grow, only to discover at the end that it's unfit for human consumption. What ensues is an enormously entertaining moral, socio-economic odyssey (and statistical bonanza) through the American food industry. Ellis, Cheney, and Aaron Woolf's documentary is clear-minded and fair, but just damningly descriptive enough to leave you distrustful of everything on your plate. -- W.M.
