Charles Darwin film 'too controversial for religious America

A British film about Charles Darwin has failed to find a US distributor because his theory of evolution is too controversial for American audiences, according to its producer.

By Anita Singh, Showbusiness Editor
Published: 4:53PM BST 11 Sep 2009

"... It has been sold in almost every territory around the world, from Australia to Scandinavia.

"However, US distributors have resolutely passed on a film which will prove hugely divisive in a country where, according to a Gallup poll conducted in February, only 39 per cent of Americans believe in the theory of evolution."
OMG! I am sooo

I swear as God is my witness I will never go hungry again!

Oh, wait I mean, I'll do everything in my power to correct this ignorance!
