King Corn: Thur. (June 17) @ 7pm
- Cover of King Corn (Green Packaging)
Don’t miss King Corn this Thursday (6/17) at the Mockingbird Restaurant (123 W. Beverley; Downtown Staunton). Film begins at 7pm, but come early to enjoy a special dinner in the Music Hall featuring food from local farmers (call 540.213.8777 for reservations).
In King Corn, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from an east coast college, move to the American 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.

King Corn is part of the local motion film series presented by Transition Staunton Augusta in partnership with Staunton Green 2020.
