This movie was taken from the Scopes Monkey Trials in 1925.
The movie begins with a young teacher teaching on the evolution of man from a lower being. Which was outlawed. Bert Cates is arrested and awaited his trial.
Two very influential lawyers are put of the case. Henry Drummond, an atheist, and Matthew Harrison Brady, a God-fearing man.
Drummond is the defender, DBrady is the prosecutor.
This movie is NOT an accurate depiction of the actual scopes trial.
It is sad to see how Hollywood twists the truth to the way the want it.
After I watched this, I read a booklet from Answers in Genesis about it.
It was depressing to see the change.
Even without reading the booklet, I was sadden at the way Christians were portrayed in the movie. It made us seem like stupid, ignorant, naive children, who don't do anything but hate other people who do not have the same beliefs. That is not what most Christians are like.
I encourage you to watch this movie because it is what most people say happened during the scopes trials, but research after you watch it.
