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.

Technical Description:
Pirate Radio USA is broadcast live, as an uninterrupted radio program. Almost the entire film, including voice over, is played as pre-recorded audio segments that are rolled in and out of the live broadcast as it happens. The effect will be to ‘see’ a live pirate radio broadcast about pirate radio, a first.
