The documentary film ‘The Sound of Friendship’ traces the trajectory of 
Radio Berlin International (RBI), a GDR based international radio 
broadcaster, from the perspective of its journalists and listeners, 
based in present day Germany and India. The film is a story of the radio 
station’s Hindi Programme aired from 1967-1990. It takes viewers from 
locales in Berlin, where the station was located, to Madhepura, Bihar in 
India where a Listeners’ Club called the Lenin Club was active. How were 
transnational ties of friendship performed among actors from India and 
the GDR through the sonic medium of short waves during the Cold War? How 
are those ties remembered today, 30 years after the shutdown of the station?
