About the film: This documentary revisits the golden era of radio in India. This was an era before the advent of Television, mobile phones and social media in our daily life. The film explores how radio deeply influenced the lives of a few passionate
individuals. The filmmakers have used an intertwining storytelling format for the film. It takes you to the vintage radio museum, passion of radio restorer, historic Apollo 11 Moon landing commentary of 1969, role of Ham Radio in disasters like Tsunami, fond
memories associated with most popular radio programs like Binaca Geetmala, Jaimala, Cricket commentary, tireless efforts of retired librarian to repair his old radio, etc. The film is first-of-its-kind where the radio itself is the protagonist of the film!
