The Pirates

The Brief

Angry youth in what might be Norway’s first action film. “Radio Feskslo! What’s left over!” is the slogan of the illegal pirate radio run by Ronnie and Jørgen, two young unemployed boys in a small town in Northern Norway in the 1980s. Through their broadcasts, they vent their frustrations while simultaneously provoking both the local community and the authorities. This is a fresh and engaging film about being young, misunderstood, and angry. It is also surprisingly exciting; expect both drama and action at sea, set to music by Åge Aleksandersen and Fandens oldemor, among others. Good to know: * Age limit 12+ * In Norwegian
