Voices of Kutch
Chaitanya Modak, 2006, India, Kutchi with English subtitles, 34 minutes, DVD

Our opening night short film, "Voices of Kutch" is an insightful film into community radio movement in India using the context of an experiment in radio programing done with community participation by the Kutch Mahila Vikas Sanghatan's community radio project - Radio Ujjas.

Revolving around the story of a little girl and a radio she receives as a gift, the film's argument is built through the radio program she listens to and the shared experience of the practioners and audiences of community radio broadcasting.
