Magic Radio - Tuning into Niger’s voices and rhythms
Since gaining independence in 1991, Niger has experienced a transformation powered by sound. This compelling documentary captures how private radio stations have become lifelines in the Republic of Niger, disseminating news, health advice, recipes, and local music.
Filmmakers Luc Peter and Stéphanie Barbey craft an immersive, offbeat portrait of Nigerien culture, showing the voices that shape daily life. With field reporters, school visits, studio debates, and freestyle rap echoing “la haine, la peine, la misère,” the documentary becomes a frequency-hopping journey through a country where every dialed-in voice matters.
