It is important to note that Pandora's Hope is a hoax film in documentary form produced by famed and long time hoaxer Joe Scaggs. Scaggs himself admitted this openly in the 2015 documentary film "Art of the Prank." What follows is a summary of what viewers were led to believe: Pandora's Hope is a short documentary film that follows Kit Farrell, a young journalist and filmmaker, as she explores a side of Kauai, Hawaii rarely seen by the millions of visitors who come seeking paradise on earth. Through a series of interviews, the film shines daylight on secretive corporate and government scientific research; growing trends in open source science; and the urgent need for transparency and ethical responsibility. Kit's journey ultimately stirs up questions about how we balance the need for progress with our basic human rights, not to mention naturally arising concerns about what evils might be unleashed in the process.
