Reel Gone Round-Up (King Corn)

Hop on board the express bus (with music by the Pine Hill Haints) at 9 am outside Kevin's World (26 N. Ninth St., across from the Blue Note), and make our annual pilgrimage to the closed-down Bull Pen livestock barn. After a delicious locally produced brunch, a short hoedown and an auction, we will play King Corn — the story of two young city slickers, Ian and Curt, who move to Greene, Iowa, to grow an acre right in the heart of the Corn Belt. They buy into the entire commercial ag program, from anhydrous ammonia and oversized tractors to genetically modified seed stock. But doubt is sown by critics such as Michael Pollan, who intimates that something's not right in the American Eden. With a Q&A conducted by Anna Lappe, author of Grub: Ideas for an Urban Organic Kitchen.
