'
AIRPLAY' ( 107m, USA) (not in competition)
Directed by: Carolyn Travis & Chris Gilson
2007 Return Feature Presentation
Synopsis
For the past fifty years, rock radio has been America's revolutionary medium.
It blasted black music to white America in the 50's, progressive rock to fan the
|fires of the 60's, the black rage of hip-hop in the Reagan-era 80's. But, pioneers
were often censored or thrown off the air for challenging the establishment. Today,
the satellite revolution empowers listeners to hear what they want without interference,
or does it? Airplay is a story of love and war, the ongoing struggle between radio
pioneers and powerful business, political and religious institutions for the soul of
music radio.
