In “King Corn,” two friends move to Iowa to learn where their
food comes from. Using genetically-modified seeds and powerful
herbicides, they grow their own corn. As they then try to
follow their corn into the food system, what they learn sparks
many questions and concerns.
The event aims to educate the community about our nation’s food
system and the production of corn in the United States. After
the movie, a panel of experts will lead a discussion on our
food system, agriculture and organic farming. Informational
tables, as well as refreshments provided by PCC Natural
Markets, will also be available to attendees. In addition, door
prizes will be given away after the movie.
