La Maison de la radio on Blu-ray and DVD in March

1 February 2015

For the French people, Radio France is a cultural gem that beats at the heart of the nation from its large broadcasting house in Paris, the Maison de la Radio.

Acclaimed documentarian Nicolas Philibert (Nénette, Être et Avoir) takes a charming and insightful look at a national institution that is usually only heard.
