Radio Gwen

Documentary
Radio Gwendalyn is facing a crucial challenge: professionalization. It is the first community radio station in the Italian-speaking part of Switzerland to obtain the status of a complementary non-profit radio station. Through this story, the documentary explores the broader context in which the station operates: a network of often invisible yet deeply interconnected realities. It is also a journey into the lives of the people who keep the radio alive, their stories, daily challenges, and the motivations that drive them forward. The film follows the Radio Gwen community through a year of transformation: from the complete renovation of the studios in Chiasso to a new internal organization and the launch of a renewed programming schedule. This recognition defines the station’s mission: to fill the gaps left by commercial and public broadcasters, offering an authentic service rooted in the local community.
