“King Corn” is one of a series of three films regarding current agriculture policy, production, and consumption. This film series examines “the complex web of market and political forces that is changing what we eat” as well as “exploring alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture, placing organic and sustainable agriculture as real solutions to the farm crisis today.” “King Corn” is the story of two friends, an acre of corn in Iowa, and how corn has “conquered America.” The film helps unlock the hidden truths about America’s modern food system. “KingCorn shows how- and why- whenever you eat a hamburger or drink a soda, you’re really consuming…corn.”
