Kansas Vs. Darwin (USA Import)

The battle between creationism and Darwinism serves as the subject of filmmaker Jeff Tamblyn's documentary tracing the 2005 Kansas school board hearings that were held to determine if evolution should be taught in public schools. The hearings, which were organized by believers in Intelligent Design and convened by creationists, served as something of a proving grounds for the legal and political tactics implemented by some of the most influential anti-evolution organizations both in the United States and abroad. By looking beyond the spectacle to reveal the compelling yet perplexing personalities, the filmmakers attempt to get to the very heart of this cultural clash. Extensive footage of the hearings allows the filmmakers to remain neutral as proponents on both sides of the argument attempt to present a compelling case.
