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. Pirate Radio USA was broadcast-- or really microcast-- with a 4 watt transmitter live, as an uninterrupted radio program. The effect will be to ‘see’ a live pirate radio microcast about pirate radio: a first. See the battle to free the airwaves live-- and find out the real price of freedom. It’s not about Left vs. Right, it's about Big vs. Small. Festivals screened at include: Austin Film Festival Bermuda International Film Festival Woods Hole Film Festival Rhode Island International Film Festival Wine Country Film Festival Anchorage International Film Festival Victoria Independent Film and Video Festival |

We'll deduct that price from your purchase off the DVD if you decide to buy it. Or if you want the higher res download later on, the amount you already spent on the low res download counts toward the upgrade.
This offer doesn't expire. We're not going to make you pay extra for figuring out that you love one of our movies so much that you want the DVD or high res download. That's just how we roll.
We never want you to feel ripped off when you buy something on B-Side. It's that simple. We came up with the idea that the purchase of a download is like a down payment on a DVD - that you'll never have to spend extra on a film just because you bought the download first - because we think it's the right way to do business.
Trying to get every last penny out of you is not our thing. Helping you find (and buy) great movies is.

As thurbs said, it's tough to watch this film and not get angry. One of the biggest problems with our current political system is that the discourse is so skewed in favor of the big corporations that control our media, and this film provides a look at how they try to maintain that control. However, for a movie that could easily be an angry diatribe, they manage to keep a great sense of humor, which makes for a very entertaining film.
