This is a lighthearted look at the ‘Intelligent Design’ debate. The presenter Randy Olson (filmmaker and former evolutionary ecologist) travels around Kansas interviewing some of the people who were involved in the famous Dover trial. Who are the dodos, the Intelligent Design proponents or the evolutionary biologists? Flock of Dodos manages to listen respectfully to both sides of the debate, using quirky cartoons and some very critical questioning to provoke thought and poke fun at everyone in a very inoffensive way. Olson’s own mother, Muffy Moose, has the last word – ‘can’t we all just get along?’
