Data di messa in onda: Mag 04, 2015

Even today people identify with the anarchist ideals of piracy. The Pirate Party and the activists around the file sharing platform The Pirate Bay have been shaking up the political system in recent years. At the same time somali fishermen arm themselves with RPGs and raid tankers and cargo ships in the Gulf of Aden. As unbelievable as it seems to us, Somalias problematic and exploited economy actually benefits from modern day piracy. Albeit sometimes at a brutal cost.
