Relive a timeless drama reminding us of a continuing stress fracture which lies at the very core of the American way. This tension-filled court drama depicts what happens when a conflict arises between deeply held convictions and the freedom to present opposing points of view.

When a teacher is arrested for exposing his high school sophomore Biology class to evolution, a famously spell-binding politician comes to prosecute the case and a well-known columnist arrives to defend him. The case attracts passionate, placard waving attention, and the conflict becomes truly deadly.

But it doesn’t end quite the way you might think it does.

Join the community in this tension filled reminder of the challenges which continually arise in keeping America free.
