In 1997, BioPEEP, a top-secret corporate research protocol designed to genetically alter and irreversibly addict human beings to specific products, creating “consumer junkies,” is appropriated by the government to create a new weapon, paving the way for targeted gene-ocide. That is until, in 1998, the plan is foiled by Joseph Howard (a.k.a. Joey Skaggs), a corporate whistleblower. When he leaks the information, international protests against genetic research-gone-rogue are held in Australia and the U.S., bringing attention to the plot and causing alarm in... Slovenia.
This is the 10th film in the oral history series, "Joey Skaggs Satire and Art Activism, 1960s to the Present and Beyond", for which Skaggs unveils this epic international conspiracy. Is it science fiction or a vision of the future?
