Kansas vs. Darwin
Director, Jeff Tamblyn, USA
Kansas vs. Darwin is a smart, funny, feature-length documentary about the Kansas state school board hearings on evolution. Features intimate revealing interviews with all major players on both sides, and exclusive, multi-camera footage of the hearings. Far more than a political film, Kansas vs. Darwin skillfully weaves multiple themes into a gripping dialectic, putting you face to face with, and inside the heads of, those who oppose your most closely held beliefs. Challenging and entertaining, it’s packed with fascinating characters who will leave you in admiration and astonishment, embarrassment and exasperation, as they feverishly pursue their goals, sometimes stumbling over their own eagerness in the attempt to win the most important battle of their lives.
