Strange Culture
(2007)Overview
The film examines the case of artist and professor Steve Kurtz, a member of the Critical Art Ensemble (CAE). The work of Kurtz and other CAE members dealt with genetically modified food and other issues of science and public policy.

They summoned the FBI, who detained Kurtz within hours on suspicion of bioterrorism.
