Don’t miss Lynn Hershman Leeson’s shocking new film, “Strange Culture,”
which documents the case of artist and professor Steven Kurtz and
geneticist Robert Ferrell, accused in 2004 by the U.S. Justice
Department of “bioterrorism” and currently awaiting trial. The case
threatens to set dangerous precedent by eroding the boundary between
civil and criminal law, and by criminalizing those who legitimately and
legally criticize government policy.::WATCH THE TRAILER HERE::

STARS… ‘Strange Culture’ is an important heads-up to what is going on
in our country right now in the name of national security, and a
brilliant statement on artistic freedom and the dangers it faces.”
