New Evolution Ruling in Kansas Fuels National Interest in FLOCK OF DODOS Documentary!

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Overflow crowds at national screenings of the funny and critically acclaimed documentary FLOCK OF DODOS: THE EVOLUTION - INTELLIGENT DESIGN CIRCUS, timed to coincide with Charles Darwin's birthday this month, are being further fueled by the unprecedented decision of the Kansas School Board. In a 6 to 4 vote on February 13, driven by school board members featured in FLOCK OF DODOS, the new board ousted the pro-intelligent design standards approved by the previous board. This makes Kansas not only the first school board to approve intelligent design standards, but also the first to reject them.

In FLOCK OF DODOS, filmmaker and evolutionary biologist Randy Olson pokes fun at both sides of the evolution vs. intelligent design controversy as he delves head first into the seriousness of the issue. One of the film's many revelations is that the controversy is less about science and more about communication dynamics. Over the past few days, the public's interest in learning more has been seen at packed screenings of FLOCK OF DODOS followed by very lively discussions in Kansas City, Seattle, San Francisco, Austin, Tucson, Los Angeles, Denver, London, etc. For complete schedule visit www.flockofdodos.com.

FLOCK OF DODOS sets flight for Washington DC on February 15 for special screenings on Capitol Hill and the Avalon Theatre. Both screenings will be followed by discussions with the filmmaker and prominent advocates from both sides of the controversy.
