Tales of the Black Freighter is a comic book within the main story of the classic Watchmen graphic novel by writer Alan Moore, artist Dave Gibbons, and colorist John Higgins. In 2009, an animated feature was released straight to DVD and Blu-Ray. The animated film acts as a companion piece to the big budget live action Watchmen feature film. As in the original graphic novel, the themes of the animated film enhance and mirror the themes of the main story of the Watchmen feature film.
In March of 2009, a copy of the film leaked on to popular BitTorrent sites, including Pirate Bay and Mininova.

Tales of the Black Freighter Synopsis
In the Watchmen graphic novel a young African-American boy is reading the Tales of the Black Freighter comic book. The story he reads in the comic is called Marooned. In the story, a character referred to as the Mariner is adrift at sea. His main goal is to race home to protect his family and hometown from the evil and brutal Black Freighter pirate ship. Throughout his journey he stops at nothing to reach home, including using the bodies of his dead shipmates to make a raft, and killing innocent people who stand in his way. Does his brutality justify his mission? Or do his actions make the Mariner become the very thing that he is protecting his family and friends from? Watchmen Wikia: Tales of the Black Freighter -
