Educational and Enternaining 
This was an excellent film on consumption and uses for corn and how it is contributing to the obesity epidemic. The film was factual and also very entertaining and kept it's audience's attention for the whole film.

would you like corn syrup with that? 
A documentary about Corn. The turning point of the story begins when Republican Earl Butz ushers in the "Get big or get out" era. The idea was to reduce subsidies by dramatically increasing subsidies. (technically there would be fewer farmers receiving subsidies when there are fewer remaining farmers).
The older townsfolk interviewed don't come off as cynical. They come off as fatalistically pragmatic. Both dependent on large subsidies and likely to be run out of business by people better at lining up... more info

boring..... 
i still do not understand the purpose of this movie. o.k. they were trying to raise awareness about the corn industry in america, but the movie itself was drawn out. there seemed to be no real plot. it was definitely way longer than it needed to be. there was also a lot of personal family info. thrown into the movie that did not need to be there. i would recommend reading an essay on corn development in america instead of this movie. it was not nearly as informative as i had hoped.
