Billy Corben On His Documentary, "Screwball"

Published: March 30, 2019, midnight

Recounting the high-profile doping scandal that rocked Major League Baseball, director Billy Corben ("Cocaine Cowboys") takes us into the surreal Miami underworld that provided performance-enhancing drugs to Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez and other star players. The documentary, "Screwball," plays like a madcap Floridian crime comedy in the vein of Elmore Leonard or the Coen Brothers while it raises serious questions about the ethics of professional sports. Powerful interests would be happy to let this story slip from memory, but this film makes it unforgettable.
