Synopsis
In the months following 9/11 two Americans and two Norwegians travel to Bangladesh to begin an incredible journey. Born from the mind of a young adventurer, Daniel Casanova, these twenty-two year olds set out to build a traditional sailboat to sail 7,000 miles to Australia. The shoestring would-be adventurers settle down in Cox's Bazar, a sleepy third-world fishing town and begin their preparation. The crew struggles with language barriers and bargaining as they soon realize the odds maybe stacked against them. Weather, un-reliable carpenters and deportations soon plague the crew. They become integrated amongst the fisherman/pirate community and soon become close with their 'boat guy' Kamal. He becomes their confidant and warns them of impending danger - police, pirates, etc. With the USA at the brink of war they set sail for Australia.
When We Were Pirates is an inspiring tale of four young men pursuing a dream. Riddled with humor and drama the film is set in the most corrupt and wettest country in the world.

Very Cool, I had no idea people did stuff like this...when is the movie coming out?
Saw the documentary on google Holfdun is very cute
Where are the pirates?
YOu all must be very hard working...I'm going to check out the videos on google.
watched parts of your movie on a wall at an art party in london, the host told me to check out google and then I saw this blog. You guys are the real thing.
you should get a real website...
aaaaaarhg!!!! Give me your Booty
someone at my work e-mailed me man getting hit by rickshaw but I didn't see that part in the documentary.Still it was very funny
This documentary is fake. I watched it on google and there is no way it is real. the whole thing is setup. the give away is that there are some takes where it was impossible to have filmed, like durring the rescue on the tanker. I have a friend in the coast guard and he saw it too, and says that it's impossible for a wooden boat to sink like that without blowing up the bottom of the boat. It was very fun to watch and the movie is edited very well, so well that I was almost fooled.
I was also wondering if it was fake. Something like this normally doesn't stay under the radar. National Geographic, anyone? Who are these people? The editing was good but I think it is real.
i also think that it might be fake...i work for an independant studio and i remember seeing a pitch for a mockumentary that was along these lines a while back. we passed, but i guess these guys got funding...well done though
Saw the movie and it was great. good music selection.
Yo Ho Ho!!!!!!
The Host Never Ansewers?
