Joybubbles developed a fascination with telephones by age four and figured out how to manipulate them by whistling. In doing so, the young man who was born blind found a calling and a way to connect with other people. From his abusive childhood to being underestimated in his work in technology, Joybubbles took charge of his own life, founding the Church of Eternal Childhood, renouncing his past, and declaring himself a perpetual 5-year-old (and legally changing his name to Joybubbles). He landed in the Twin Cities where his work as a “phone phreak”, using telecommunications technology to spread joy, was legendary. Director Rachael J. Morrison’s documentary is the very model of a crowd pleaser.
