Mercur(2017)

Mercur is a Danish series inspired by the true story of Radio Mercur, Europe's first commercial offshore radio station. In 1958, a group of passionate music enthusiasts launched broadcasts from a ship in international waters near Copenhagen, determined to break the state-run radio monopoly. Their mission was simple: deliver fresh pop and rock 'n' roll to young listeners hungry for new sounds. The series follows their bold venture from its daring inception through its eventual decline, capturing the spirit of rebels who challenged the establishment to transform European radio. A tale of ambition, music, and the fight against institutional control.
