Joey Skaggs: Metamorphosis, Cockroach Miracle Cure

SYNOPSIS

In 1981, Entomologist, Dr. Josef Gregor (a.k.a. Joey Skaggs), along with his cult-like clinical volunteers, dupes the mainstream media when he unveils his revolutionary cockroach hormone vitamin pill. Purported to cure all ailments known to man including the common cold, acne, anemia, and menstrual cramps, it also makes people invulnerable to nuclear radiation which can save humanity from self-annihilation.

Since the 60s, artist Joey Skaggs has pioneered the use of the mass media to make social political commentary. In this documentary, the sixth in the series, Skaggs pulls back the curtain and reveals his unique stagecraft.
