Description:
In a small, religious community, a young teacher named Bert Cates is arrested for teaching evolution in public school. The case draws national attention, with two of the country's most respected lawyers taking opposing sides: Henry Drummond defending Cates, and Matthew Harrison Brady prosecuting him. The trial explores not only Cates' guilt or innocence, but also the fundamental conflict between religious faith and Darwin's theory, culminating in a personal clash between Drummond and Brady.
