Film has become a powerful medium when exploring controversial topics or when making a point about a particular subject.

The Lexington Cooperative Market and Edible Buffalo have joined together to present Food Matters: A Four Film Series.
King Corn was first released in 2007 and explores the tenuous topic of corn production in the United States. As America’s most subsidized crop, this film follows to young gentleman as they try to follow their corn crop as it enters our food system. What they learn is both troubling and eye-opening as it raises many questions about how we eat and how we farm. As more and more industrial food companies are coming under fire for their prevalent use of high fructose corn syrup in their products, this film continues to be timely and relevant.
