USA, 2007, Aaron Woolf
When two east coast college buddies move to
Iowa to grow an acre of corn, they learn firsthand about industrial
food production, the plight of family-owned farms, government
subsidies, genetically modified seed, herbicides and fertilizers, and
other insidious truths about our fast-food nation. This is a rare
nonfiction film that sounds the alarm without sacrificing humor and
human interest. “A lively introduction to the corn industrial complex.”
–Entertainment Weekly. Cleveland premiere. 35mm. 88 min.
