Corn...It's What's for Dinner

On Wednesday, January 11, in Schultze Room 256, I will be showing the film King Corn.

This film discusses the impact of corn on our society, especially in the fast food industry. Through humor and a self-experiment, two college friends plant an acre of corn deep in the corn belt to follow the life of corn from seed to plate.

For more information, and other facts about King Corn, visit this site.

The trailer (and actually the full movie) can be found on IMDB.

This film got very high reviews, including 96% good on rotten tomatoes. Many praise it for it's light feeling and learn-as-they-go story of the two unlikely farmers.

Here are a few reviews that I found:

• Janice Page from the Boston Globe
• Matt Zollar Seitz from the NY Times
• Michael Phillips from the Chicago Tribune

Directed: Aaron Woolf

Run time: 88 minutes

Plan on coming at 8:00pm, and we will be done by 10 (end of open house) Feel free to bring a snack!
