Film Screening of the documentary King Corn – Savannah, GA

by

Reel Savannah and the Telfair Museum of Art present King Corn.
This new must-see documentary that just opened in New York City tells the story of 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 is the horrifying reality of how we farm and what we eat and how it has been destroying America’s health and future. (92 minutes) Jepson Center for the Arts/Neises Auditorium
