It would be worth a taking a look at King Corn  <www.kingcorn.net>


You can get a CD of the presentation I think its 90 minutes long.


Why? Our take on it--
Documents the way in which we have let corn invade our diet--corn syrup,  
corn oil--and set the stage for a national epidemic of obesity, created a  
Federal Farm Subsidy program that barely pays the farmer to keep planting corn  
while allowing Cargil, Archer, Daniel, Midlands, etc to purchase corn for less  
than it costs to produce it while we continue to feed the subsidy with our tax  
dollars.







Any suggestions of films (less than full  length) that point up current 
issues, health, homelessness, urban  development, urban gardening, water issues, 
etc.).  I'm part of a film  night for a community that is looking at offerings 
for the year that could  keep the community up to speed.




Thanks.
