The Pirate Tapes plot

The film follows a young Somali Canadian who uses his father's political clout and $20,000 to gain access to a group of pirates in troubled Somalia. With the camera in his hand, he serves as a liaison between a wealthy American investor and the leaders of the pirates. The images show the misery he has to endure day to day among the dangerous and desperate men. Not only the pirates and their motives are exposed, but also the corruption in the government is exposed.
