Coming as a boon to all fans of underground media, grassroots film distributor B-Side has acquired the documentary Pirate Radio USA, which is reviewed in ALARM’s summer issue, for distribution.

The 90-minute film, which bills itself as a rollicking look into “the underground world of illegal radio in America, where people play what they want and say what they want - unless the FCC catches them,” is now available to be downloaded. It’s Big Media vs. Small Media in a battle to free the airwaves.

At B-Side, you can watch the first ten minutes of the film for free, download a DRM-free, DVD quality version of the film for burning or viewing on your computer or TV for $7.99, or download a DRM-free version that you can watch on any portable device for $2.99.

Pick up ALARM’s summer issue on June 19 for a full review of Pirate Radio USA.
