The trailer is definitely a teaser as far as this documentary on the London pirate radio scene is concerned. A feature-length film, Drowned City explores the “pirate radio culture” of London, including the perspectives of broadcasters and those whose job it is to try and silence them.
The documentary seems to cover a large segment (i.e., the last decade or so) of the scene, which doesn’t get much sympathy from mainstream media coverage – Drowned City seems determined to reorient this paradigm. It offers “unprecedented access to the secret lives of pirates” both past and present.
So far, looks good; the producers promise they’ll serve up their next teaser two months from now.
