"Strange Culture" - Art, Bacteria and "Bioterror" (8/24)

Strange Culture

at FACETS

A new movie - Strange Culture - tells the harrowing story of Critical Art Ensemble's Steve Kurtz personal tragedy-turned-major FBI investigation over his possession of of allegedly bioterroristic bacteria that had was using for an art piece.

Tying together the story of his wife, Hope's sudden death with following suspicions by the government he was making WMD's in his house, the film does an excellent job

The case is still ongoing, and will finally come trial this summer 2008.

Steve Kurtz's legal defense fund continues to welcome donations.
