Pirate Radio (2006)

AVI

1:24 min



Pirate Radio USA is a feature length digital

documentary about the underground world of illegal

radio in America, where people play what they want

and say what they want–unless the FCC catches them…

DJ’s Him and Her, from their live Pirate Radio USA

Studio, take you on a rock -n-roll journey inside

rogue radio stations across the country to see why

Americans defy Federal Law to free the radio

airwaves. On the way see the rise of Big Media, the

growth of Citizen Media to encounter it, and witness

their showdown over the truth during the 1999 World

Trade Organization meetings in Seattle. See the

battle to free the airwaves and find out the real

price of freedom. It’s not about Left vs. Right,

it’s about Big vs. Small.

This is a good one. Radio is still the most universal and democratic medium. And pirate radio just takes the people's airwaves which are rightfully theirs in the first place.

What might be a good discussion is the fact that in Tunisia (whatever happened there?) and Egypt they talk a lot about so-called social media but where is their revolution now? By contrast radio is big in the global South and their actions are more cohesive with the common communication of radio.

My conclusion is that radio still works.

This film on pirate radio is a good intro to the craft of underground broadcast.

This is a great documentary. I know the director. He worked really hard on this and it went to about 7 film festivals. He's cool with it being on bittorrent. He's got a new film coming out called The Unbookables.
