[Marxism] A Flock of Dodos

The other night I stumbled across “A Flock of Dodos” on the Showtime 
cable network, a somewhat overly whimsical documentary on “intelligent 
design” that I still recommend heartily. It is directed by Randy Olson 
who received a PhD in evolutionary biology from Harvard while studying 
under Stephen Jay Gould. Olson changed careers in the mid 1990s and 
became a documentary film-maker with Michael Moore as his most obvious 
influence. Using himself as a central figure, Olson interviews both 
sides of the debate seeking to make it entertaining to a mass audience. 
He largely succeeds although nobody is better at this than Michael Moore 
obviously.
