#36 "King Corn"

This is a little independent documentary about corn. "Boring!" you say. Not so. The film explores how corn makes its way from the field into nearly everything we eat. This is something that I had noticed over the years, but the makers take the time to tell us why this is. I would say that this is probably the best documentary I have seen this year. It doesn't go on the offensive like so many documentaries do these days, but shows both sides of the story with a humanizing perspective. The film is not perfect. Fortunately what it lacks in is not in presentation of information, but in technical skills of the makers. However this is their first film, and undoubtedly their skills will get better over time

Highly Recommended
