    The Story of an Inspirational Culture Jammer
    I discovered Joey Skaggs through his interview in RE/Search: Pranks!, a book that transformed my worldview two decades ago. I always wanted to see video footage of his media stunts and colorful public performances.

    This is that, and more.

    Just as Skaggs's work is well-suited for video, his ideas are urgently relevant to our current predicament.

    This doc will acquaint you with an artist and avuncular personality who makes the world brighter and smarter through mischief. It will remind you to question your assumptions, that power structures are more permeable than they seem, and that fun can still triumph over fear.
