King Corn King Corn, co-produced by Mosaic Films, Inc. and ITVS, is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation. In the film, 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 raises troubling questions about how we eat and how we farm. The film continues to play in theaters across the country and will be broadcast nationally on the PBS series Independent Lens in April 2008. The DVD is available at the website www.kingcorn.net.
