Free Sustainability Movie Night in Issaaquah

The City of Issaquah’s Resource Conservation Office is hosting the 3rd Sustainability Movie Night – on Wednesday, July 22 from 6-9pm, and it is free! We will be showing the movie King Corn.

Event details:
What: Movie: King Corn 6:30-9:00p.m. July 22 (come early at 6 p.m. to talk with exhibitors and get a good seat)
Where: King County Library Service Center* Community Room
960 Newport Way N.W., Issaquah (*This is not the downtown library!)

In “King Corn,” two friends move to Iowa to learn where their food comes from. Using genetically-modified seeds and powerful herbicides, they grow their own corn. As they then try to follow their corn into the food system, what they learn sparks many questions and concerns.

The event aims to educate the community about our nation’s food system and the production of corn in the United States. After the movie, a panel of experts will lead a discussion on our food system, agriculture and organic farming. Informational tables, as well as refreshments provided by PCC Natural Markets, will also be available to attendees. In addition, door prizes will be given away after the movie. For questions or more information please call the City of Issaquah's Resource Conservation Office at: 425-837-3400.
