On this episode of ID The Future, Dr. John West goes “on the set” for an interview with filmmaker Fred Foote, writer and producer of the new feature-length drama Alleged, which seeks to tell the real story behind the infamous Scopes “monkey trial” in Dayton, Tennessee. In this second part of a three-part interview, Fred Foote discusses the biggest myths about the Scopes trial that he hopes his film will shatter.

Alleged is now available on DVD and Blu-ray at Amazon.com and other retailers.
