About the project: A gripping courtroom drama inspired by the famous 1925 Scopes Monkey Trial, which challenged the legality of teaching evolution in a Tennessee classroom.

A timeless and thought-provoking reflection on the fundamental right to think. Rate: Actors receive a gas stipend and comp tickets.
