About
Mark Hunter, a lonely high school student, uses his shortwave radio to moonlight as the popular pirate DJ "Hard Harry." When his show gets blamed for a teen committing suicide, the students clash with high school faculty and the authorities.
Forget typical teen angst for a subculture-driven rebellion fueled by pirate radio and underground grunge. This low-fi anthem captures the electric, dangerous thrill of finding your tribe through a shortwave signal.
