It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This is the movie about Pirate Radio that is designed to help folks of all walks of life who see this movie understand first-hand why pirate radio, and to dispel any dis-beliefs about how far the FCC will go in order to prevent our United States Constitutional rights from being exercised in the form of free speech and to also preserve the infrastructure and corruption of the mega-monopolizing national bigwigs, whose primary intention is to not only command the airwaves but also to dictate and severely limit on a national level the very content of programming choices that will be available to listeners.It also documents very well the ongoing battle for our rights to even qualify for low-power authority, that is for those aspiring micro-casters who wholeheartedly WANT to play along with FCC rules and go through the proper channels, but trouble is the FCC refuses to play fair.Pirate Radio USA is not based on any fiction, it is reality and a serious wake-up call to listeners as well as aspired radio engineers and programmers who fight for listener's rights to choice and to restore fair opportunity for the privately owned company to operate as a legitimate and properly licensed station and have fair opportunity to serve in public as well as advertisers interests.

nice history of low wattage radio and the struggle for small, truly independent, neighborhood community broadcasting. makes you want to set up your own station just to keep commercial-free speech on the air. also covers the consolidation of media outlets and the WTO protests. i'm sure the founding fathers would have approved of this film! patriotism is standing up for the ideals of freedom our country was founded on, not standing idly by as all our media are sold out to monolithic corporate entities who see nothing more than their bottom line. the airwaves are a public trust, like our state parks, and should serve more than the lowest common denominator. the voice of the people should be heard!
