MINA AND THE RADIO BANDITS
Mina believes in two things: the power of words and the right to have a second chance in life. This has led her to create a groundbreaking prison-based show: The Bandit Radio.
But it´s one thing to believe, it´s another thing to make it work in a society that couldn’t care less. For the convicts Dennis and Josh, the radio is a lifeline. For Rune, an ex-convict filled with volatile anger, Mina goes beyond her mandate. Where others see uncontrolled violence, Mina sees a familiar armor. As different as they are, she recognizes herself in him.
Between the difficult rehabilitation of her beloved convicts, and bureaucratic roadblocks, Mina realizes that the task may prove impossible. But her determination makes her go on at the cost of her personal life.
