Canadian Film maker, artist and documentarian Amanda Christie has always been a fan of shortwave radio - The 38 year old Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada resident grew up in the shadows of the RCI antenna towers and observed their influence on the community. In her 35MM film documentary "Spectres of Shortwave" she reveals the impact and demise of the RCI transmitter site on the people of Sackville.
The documentary, currently in circulation at Film festivals will be shown this weekend at a festival and will be simulcast on WRMI. In my opinion, this is the single most important film about shortwave radio ever made - and comes at turning point in society where we abandon economic and reliable mediums of broadcasting and news dissemination and adopt a user pay medium for getting our information. Many thanks to Jeff White of WRMI for making this simulcast happen!
