Respect goes both ways!
Starring Cuba Gooding, Jr., Ed Harris, Alfre Woodard and Debra Winger, Radio
(Running time: 1 hour, 49 minutes) is based on real life events. This thoughtful film follows the unusual relationship of high school football coach Harold Jones and a local man named Radio who is illiterate and mentally challenged. Radio was long the target of joke by the community, but their attitudes are changed when they see his growth under the coach's guidance. The two began a relationship in a small town in South Carolina in 1964 that has amazingly continued through to today.
