Exposing piracy in Somalia from the inside out, The Pirates Tapes follows Mohamed Ashareh, a young Somali-Canadian, as he travels to Somalia in hopes of joining an active pirate cell.

When things take an unexpected turn, Mohamed finds himself on the run from the law with the danger of execution looming.
