King Corn

2 Reviews

This thought-provoking documentary offers a entertaining twist on the standard handwringing environmental documentary. Director Aaron Woolf cleverly disguises an expose on the impact of corn on our food supply in the story of two average joes getting back to the land, resulting in an accessible look at some very important issues.

synopsis

KING CORN is a fun and crusading journey into the digestive tract of our fast food nation where one ultra-industrial, pesticide-laden, heavily-subsidized commodity dominates the food pyramid - corn. With the help of some real farmers, government aide, and some genetically modified seeds, the friends manage to grow one acre of corn. Along the way, they unlock the hilarious absurdities and scary but hidden truths about America’s modern food system.
