Films of Vision and Hope comes to the Sunnyvale Public Library. You
are invited to join us at the library for the screening of "King Corn"
on Saturday 5/9/2015 from 3 - 6p.
This film follows filmmakers Ian
Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the East Coast who
move to the heartland to learn were their food comes from. With the help
of friendly neighbors, 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.
Here is a link to the trailer:

After the film, we will be hosting a lively discussion to explore the issues brought up in the film.
