## Caption

In the new documentary SCREWBALL, director Billy Corben recounts the high-profile doping scandal that rocked Major League Baseball in 2013. He takes us into the surreal Miami underworld of steroid peddler Anthony Bosch, who provided performance-enhancing drugs to Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez, and other star players. They say South Florida is a sunny place for shady people and this is certainly true of the "doctor" and his most notorious client, Rodriguez of the New York Yankees. While Bosch’s medical credentials may be lacking, his storytelling skills are first-rate. He hilariously details the rise and fall of his “health clinic," including Mob connections, financial chicanery, his own cocaine habit, and Rodriguez’s eccentric behavior. The documentary plays like a madcap 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 be forgotten, but SCREWBALL makes it unforgettable. SCREWBALL starts this Friday, March 29. A @tiff_net Official Selection. .
