Comments: A high school teacher gives a lesson about Darwin's theory of evolution. He's promptly arrested in the small, southern town of Hillsboro. The State charges him with breaking a law by teaching evolution in a public school. His case brings national attention. But what will the court decide? Will it even hear the defendent's case for evolution?
This powerful courtroom drama has some tongue-in-cheek moments. It's really funny in spots and quite serious in others. A side role is played by a young Dick York. Recommended!
