Radio, My Love is an investigative documentary that frames radio broadcasting as an arena of struggle. The film revolves around the experiences of women who entered the profession by taking exams to join the TRT, first established as an autonomous broadcasting institution. The documentary is based on the oral history project “Women Radio Broadcasters in Turkish History,” supported by the Istanbul Bilgi University Scientific Research Projects Fund.
Directed by Nazan Haydari, Özden Cankaya, and Cem Hakverdi, Radio, My Love weaves together archival recordings with contemporary interviews, bringing voices from different eras together. As the personal stories of women broadcasters, especially those who worked in the 1970s, unfold one after another, the history of radio — once the major medium for mass communication in Türkiye — is laid bare through their eyes, painting a vivid portrait of an entire period in Turkish history.
