The Complete Truth About De-Evolution is a movie, written by Mark Mothersbaugh and Gerald Casale, and directed by Charles Statler, that contains commentaries and appearances by members of Devo. It contains all of their videos, clips from live appearances, and special features. These include:the videos for Secret Agent Man, Jocko Homo (Booji Boy version), Mechanical Man, Devo Corporate Anthem, Mongoloid, and the feature "A Word About Laser Discs". It was never shown in theatres, because it is only 10 minutes long. It inspired David Bowie to do a project with Devo, and won an award at the Ann Arbor Film Festival.
