Screwball
This 2018 documentary, directed by Billy Corben, delves into the real-life scandal involving Major League Baseball and a Miami-based anti-aging clinic. The film uses a unique storytelling approach, featuring child actors lip-syncing to the interviews of the actual people involved, which adds a layer of absurdity to the already bizarre tale. It explores themes of corruption, greed, and the lengths to which athletes will go to enhance their performance. While it hasn’t won any major awards, the film is noted for its entertaining and unconventional narrative style. For those interested, it can be viewed for free on Soap2day.
