Bryant Lake Bowl Sunday, September 22, 5:30pm Kevin Keyser, 100 mins, 2000 The first comprehensive look at the modern Micropower (ie pirate) Broadcasting Movement. It chronicles in-depth its birth as Black Liberation Radio in the John Hay housing project in the 1980s in Illinois, through the current explosion of the early 90s, facilitated by the ever-effervescent Stephen Dunnifer, through its ubiquitous spread throughout America and beyond. Taking an in-depth look at pirate radio stations and their broadcasters, it also provides commentary and analysis on the current lack of access to broadcasting in the US by Ralph Nader, Michael Moore, Ben Bagdikian, and other scholars and media activists. The film culminates with the use of micro-broadcasting during the WTO protests in Seattle, and the passage of a Low Power FM Initiative by the FCC in late January 2000. An awesome, intelligent, entertaining and informational classic. All power to the independents!
