Unlocking the Mystery of Life is a 2003 intelligent design documentary film promoted and produced by Illustra Media (linked to Discovery Media, successor to the Moody Bible Institute's "Moody Institute of Science") and Focus on the Family.
[1][2] The film's script was written by Stephen C. Meyer, who is director of the Center for Science and Culture at the Discovery Institute,[3] and it includes fellows of the institute such as Jonathan Wells and Michael Behe arguing for intelligent design and against evolution.
[4] It is promoted by Focus on the Family and Campus Crusade for Christ is providing a free copy to every school in Australia.
[5] In 2005, Albuquerque PBS member station KNME originally declined to air the film because "The funders of this program have a clear and specific agenda that they openly promote" and the station did not want to take sides.
[7] Illustra Media states that after the film's release in September 2003, more than 40 PBS affiliates had aired the documentary.
