Radio
The DVD was shipped promptly and arrived in excellent condition as advertised. As for the movie itself, I use it in a Social Group I run with special needs students as part of a disability awareness program. Very appropriate and highly recommended.

The heart may also be the brain
A simple film about humanity, humaneness, just plain life and what it should be. The question here is about the place of a mentally disabled person in our society. Is he supposed to be pushed on the side and kept there in the margin or is he supposed to be helped to find a place inside where he...

No Multiple Stars Here
Being the parent of an autistic child and volunteering in a disability ministry, I must confess that I was disappointed by the portrayals in this film. Radio is unrealistic. He can do no wrong. When he does wrong, someone put him up to it. It's hard to believe that he comes out of his shell...

Radio was faking it
First, let me say that I loved the movie. It's incredibly touching in many ways, and there are several reviews on Amazon that detail the movie. On the other hand, I think Radio was probably faking it.Who wouldn't like to be the Big Man on Campus for the rest of their life?Kid 1: "Whos that?"Kid...

RADIO RULES
There are times when the major studios tend to release their biggest hits all at once, gambling that this will return major profits to them. The fact is, this is almost always true. But once in a while they also release a small film at the same time with little hype, little intention of it making...

A Tribute To Compassion
This is a wonderful movie that demonstrates how one person's compassion for a "misfit in society" was able to transform, not only the life of Radio, but also the heart and soul of an entire community.
