Take a rock n roll journey inside the underground world of illegal radio in the US.

Pirate Radio USA is a feature length documentary about the underground world of unlicensed radio in the USA, where people play what they want and say what they want—unless the FCC catches them…

On the way, see the rise of Big Media, the growth of Citizen Media to counter it, and witness their showdown over the truth during the 1999 World Trade Organization meetings in Seattle.

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.

When I began my journey into pirate radio in 1996, I never imagined it would end, a decade later, in the documentary feature, "Pirate Radio USA."

We were total beginners when we began this project—neither of us had made a movie before. One of my favorite accomplishments is making up for the lack of B-roll footage in all the cities we visited by creating toy models of each city, and shooting both still and action shots (planes flying, buses rolling by, smoke and flames). We proved to ourselves that we can do a lot with relatively little in the way of financial resources, and still create something that people enjoy and are motivated by.

The main idea we find that people walk away from Pirate Radio USA with is that none of this is really an issue of Left vs. Right, but instead one of Big vs. Small---an idea I find resonates across many boundaries, probably because we're all pretty much Small.
