I just watched it about a week ago. Of course it's propaganda...but very effective and persuasive. Two particularly interesting aspects--Planned Parenthood was founded on the principle of Eugenics...wipe out a large segment of minority and poor babies. Also, the link between Darwinism and that deplorable science is too strong to ignore.

The other interesting clip was the National Science Foundation representative being asked about the Smithsonian scientist who was railroaded out, and all she can think of is, "You Intelligent Design folk sure are getting a lot of mileage out of that!" Nevermind that a man's career was sabatoged, because Darwinism isn't about the individual, is it? Eugenics may be descredited as a scientific system, but the remnants of group-think and survival of the fittest remain. Excellent movie.
