Portland Community Cinema will be screening King Corn, a documentary about a couple of recent college graduates who wanted to figure out where their food came from.  I listened to an interview of these two a couple of months ago and have been eagerly awaiting the release of this movie.  The main characters decided to farm a plot of land and then learn about the process of how their corn gets to the dinner table and in how many forms.  It was the first time I learned there were many different types of corn being grown in America – industrial corn and edible corn (i.e. corn on the cob.)

Portland Community Cinema, along with OPB is screening the documentary in St. Johns for free Wednesday evening and will be offering a panel discussion afterwards with Curt Ellis, filmmaker; Lisa Sedlar, President of New Seasons Market; Mike Moran, Food Resource Manager at the Oregon Food Bank; and a representative from Sauvie Island organics.
