Exposing piracy in Somali from inside out.
This UK Premiere of The Pirate Tapes follows Mohamed, a young Somali-Canadian as he puts himself and his camera on the line to join a pirate clan. The film peels back layers of corruption and poverty to understand the lawless situation in Somalia, as politicians fiddle foreign aid and corporations cut secret deals with warlords to dump nuclear waste.
