Alternately teasing and terrifying, STRANGE CULTURE molds one man¹s tragedy into an engrossing narrative. In 2004, Steve Kurtz (Thomas Jay Ryan), an associate professor of art at the State University of New York, Buffalo, was preparing an exhibition on genetically modified food for the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art when his wife, Hope (Tilda Swinton), died in her sleep of heart failure. But when paramedics noticed petri dishes and other scientific paraphernalia in the home, they alerted the F.B.I.; within hours Mr. Kurtz found himself suspected of bioterrorism, his home quarantined and his wife¹s body removed for autopsy. Filmmaker Lynn Hershman-Leeson bends the nonfiction form to her own unconventional will. The result is a fascinating collage of re-enactments, news clips and interviews, illuminating not only the implications of corporate meddling in the food chain but the ease with which innocent civilian behavior can become a suspicious act.

The Government is moving closer and closer to tierany. We have become a police state... Did you know that there are more people in prison in the united states per capita then in any other country in the world... Even Communist China, and what gets me is people want to give the government more power over there lives... Health Care, Child Protective Services, Ect Ect Ect.... it makes me sick.
Docudrama means "taking extreme liberties with the facts to heighten the drama, even if little to none existed in real life". THIS IS NOT A DOCUMENTARY! This more like a poorly made-for-tv movie of the week.
