The Capital Radio 604 Documentary Re-Release
In a world filled with fake news, it's hard to imagine that back in the 1970s and 1980s fake news, censorship, and propaganda held an entire country in its grip, turning one race against another. A small team made a difference by starting a pirate radio station to tell the truth. This is the story behind the story of Capital Radio 604.
This is the re-release of the documentary that has small tweaks to make it just that little but better.
The channel has many clips that were left on the cutting room floor that you can watch now while you wait for the re-release of the documentary on January 25th 2025 at 12:05pm South African time.
Please subscribe and set a notification for the re-release so we can all watch together live in a watch party on YouTube!
