“King Corn” is an interesting documentary that sheds light on the food distribution system in America. Hosts Ian Cheney and Curtis Ellis move from Boston to Iowa, where they grow corn on one acre of land. They show the wide use of corn and corn products, especially fructose corn syrup, in a variety of food products. Also examined is the role of U. S. government subsidies in the amount of corn farmed.
Producer-director Aaron Woolf has done a good job of assembling a wide range of information into a ninety-minute film. He also co-wrote the script with Cheney, Ellis, and Jeffrey K. Miller. Balcony Releasing handled the distribution of the very informative “King Corn.”
