| Summary: | Verzio FF Submission
In Niger, where more than 80% of the population is illiterate, radio is the main means of mass communication. Simple yet reliable, the radio is everywhere: in streets, homes and in the bush. It entertains, educates, informs and helps provide a check on power. Today, through the radio waves, the citizens of Niger seize the microphone and taste democracy. This documentary tells the story of Niger's FM revolution. (The film has 2 versions: 83 minutes and 54 minutes). |
