"King Corn" Film Screening
This event is no longer on sale.
King Corn is a documentary that follows two best friends who move from the east coast 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 farm. Following the film, retired MSU Extension field crop educator Paul Gross will lead a discussion on corn cultivation in Michigan.
This program is presented as part of the MSU Science Festival.
