FLOCK OF DODOS: The Evolution-Intelligent Design Circus

Exclusive Showing at the Avalon Theatre

Followed by Discussion on

Thursday, February 15 at 8 p.m.

Please join the filmmaker and advocates for evolution and intelligent-design for a very lively discussion and Q&A to celebrate National Darwin Day.

Special event is co-sponsored by the Avalon Theatre and the Center For Inquiry.

FLOCK OF DODOS is the first feature documentary to present both sides of the evolution vs. intelligent design controversy. 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 pokes fun at both sides of the debate, and at the same time delves head first into the seriousness of the issue that is at the heart of our country's current political division.

Running Time: 85 mins. Rated: PG.

“You'll flip for FLOCK OF DODOS.” - New York Times

“An important accomplishment.” - National Review

“A rare, even-handed look at a hot-button issue.” - Cinematical
