Meaningful Dialogue in a Clash of Cultures:
The Public Debate about Evolution
The Public Debate about Evolution
FLOCK OF DODOS is the first feature documentary (85 mins.) to present both sides of the evolution vs. intelligent design controversy that recently appeared on the covers of Time and Newsweek . Filmmaker and evolutionary biologist Dr. Randy Olson chronicles the ongoing brouhaha between condescending scientists and extremist intelligent designers, a movement that evolutionists refer to as “creationism in a cheap tuxedo”. Along the way, Olson finds time to poke equal fun at both sides of the debate, and at the same time delve head first into the seriousness of the issue that is at the heart of our country’s current political division.
