Radio Revolution: The Rise and Fall of the Big 8

85%(2)IMDbDocumentaryMusic

Examination of the international social, political and musical impact of radio station CKLW during the 1960s and 70s. CKLW was the sonic mirror of Windsor's sister city, separated by a half mile of dirty Detroit River water – reflecting excitement, soul, creativity – and bloody murder.
