King Corn is a feature documentary film released in October 2007 following college friends Ian Cheney and Curtis Ellis as they move to Greene, Iowa to grow and farm an acre of corn. In the process, Cheney and Ellis examine the role that the increasing production of corn has for American society - The film shows how the industrialization of corn has all but eliminated the "family farm". In addition, by producing high fructose corn syrup, the processing of corn has an adverse impact on the health of America. The documentary and the organic popcorn are free, but donations are happily accepted! For more information: http://www.opirgpeterborough.ca/ 705-741-1208
