“...there was a systematic closing of any inquiry for ultimate truth. And in the way that was played off/out in the last decade or so with the closing of the academic world to any kind of inquiries to Intelligent Design has been a tremendous impact to our educational system.”
Only a small part of the academic world is looking for the ultimate truth philosophy and religion.
Take a look at the proportion of students from the US and other countries writing their dissertation in natural science at US Universities. The part of US students decrease steadily other the last years - less than half now. In how many countries do you think they teach the theory of evolution at school and in how many something like ID (e.g. Saudi Arabia).

“It [ID] is the hypothesis that life did not originate randomly, not by random mutation and natural selection but that there is some design involved by an all powerful designer and that we didn't just originate as human beings as a lightning striking a mod puddle.”
Wikipedia on hypothesis
“In common usage in the 21st century, a hypothesis refers to a provisional idea whose merit requires evaluation. For proper evaluation, the framer of a hypothesis needs to define specifics in operational terms. A hypothesis requires more work by the researcher in order to either confirm or disprove it.”
In other words - IDist do your homework.
For “random mutation and natural selection” you need something already living.
Stein (2:50):
“... the producer brought me evidence that noted academics have been fired, lost their grants, lost their offices then hounded out of their communities for just questioning the idea that there could be anything except randomness in the universe.”
Just asking silly questions all day long is not academic work. The universe is not random. It's determined by inherent rules scientist try to understand. Both admit that later.
Stein (6:25)
“In todays world people who question the dominate orthodoxy are not even allowed to continue their work. If they want to continue their work they have to go out of (???) go to a new place to do their work there.”
So, please Dear producer of this film pay some scientist to do some research on ID.
Stein (7:00):
“... Darwin's church ...”
And so on ... to man playing ping-pong with non science.
Finally
Stein (23:50)
“And Newton said he was no more doing than explaining how God had organized the universe.”
And that is quite the opposite of what ID is about:
“God did it!” - Causa finita.
