Strange Culture - Trailer

Strange Culture -
The surreal nightmare of internationally-acclaimed artist and professor Steve Kurtz began when his wife Hope died in her sleep of heart failure. Police arrived, became suspicious of Kurtz's art, and called the FBI.
Within hours the artist was detained as a suspected "bioterrorist" as dozens of agents in hazmat suits sifted through his work and impounded his computers, manuscripts, books, his cat, and even his wife's body.
Today Kurtz and his long-time collaborator Dr. Robert Ferrell, former Chair of the Genetics Department at the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health, await a trial date.

I doubt that the guy killed his wife but, I find it more likely that he killed his wife than the idea that the gov't killed her. (Which I am surprised to find, so far, that no one has suggested that...)

I find it much more likely than anything else that she had an undiagnosed heart defect, like what John Ritter had, which is what he died of.

While this documentary\film has an interesting narrative, it was so mundane and tedious that I found myself falling asleep. The context seems to run to close to the developmentally stunted, fear & hate mongering, tinfoil hat-wearing, Kool-Aid sipping, conspiracy theories have no clue what they are talking about, specifically, in regards to the NWO & other such ignorant & ridiculous garbage.
