Outermost Radio is a feature-length documentary, written and directed by Alan Chebot, that takes an intimate look at a community on the tip of Cape Cod, far from the mainland and out of the mainstream, committed to keeping their alternative non-profit community radio station WOMR on the air through adversity.

Broadcasting from the outermost region of Provincetown, Massachusetts, WOMR reaches beyond locals and tourists, to a rapidly growing fan base around the world, redefining the very concept of community. Outermost Radio introduces audiences to the station's passionate and unconventional volunteer staff as they fight to keep their freedom of expression alive and in the process, give us an unflinching look into their personal lives.

Outermost Radio features a live performance from The Blind Boys of Alabama.

Outermost Radio was selected by the 2015 Provincetown International Film Festival where Chebot won the John Schlesinger Award.[1] The film was also selected in 2015 by the Kansas International Film Festival, the St. Louis International Film Festival, and the Hamptons Take 2 Documentary Film Festival.
