Video materials used in class illustrate many topics
covered in this course. Consider these presentations similar to lab
sessions, that is, watch them carefully and critically rather than
simply watch another movie or video. The exams will include these materials,
and it will be assumed that you have paid critical attention to them.

King Corn: You are What You Eat
(approx. 90 min., 1970, SB191.M2 K56 2010 DVD [DVD 1641], 2008)
"Fueled by curiosity and a dash of naiveté, college buddies Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis return to their ancestral home of Greene, Iowa, to find out how the modest corn kernel conquered America. With the help of real farmers, powerful fertilizer, government aid, and genetically modified seeds, the friends manage to grow one acre of corn. Along the way, they unlock the hidden truths about America’s modern food system."
Big River: A King Corn Companion
(27 min., SB191.M2 K56 2010 DVD, 2010)
"Following up on their Peabody winning documentary, the King Corn boys are back. For Big River, best friends Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis have returned to Iowa with a new mission: to investigate the environmental impact their acre of corn has sent to the people and places downstream. In a journey that spans from the heartland to the Gulf of Mexico, Ian and Curt trade their combine for a canoe––and set out to see the big world their little acre of corn has touched. On their trip, flashbacks to the pesticides they sprayed, the fertilizers they injected, and the soil they plowed now lead to new questions, explored by new experts in new places. Half of Iowa’s topsoil, they learn, has been washed out to sea. Fertilizer runoff has spawned a hypoxic “dead zone” in the Gulf. And back at their acre, the herbicides they used are blamed for a cancer cluster that reaches all too close to home."
