Radio Drama for Social Change

Good radio dramas are alive with sound, taking listeners on journeys full of adventure, mystery, tense moments, humour, and romance. Through CMFD's radio dramas, audiences have experienced a magical quest for a better world, the terror of rising floodwaters, the terrible explosion of a landmine, fears of a missing daughter sold to human traffickers, and even a little of what it is like for a man to live in a women's body, and vice versa! Through compelling story lines and carefully woven messages, diverse issues - good governance, disaster risk awareness, landmines, human trafficking, gender and women's rights - are addressed in a way that drives messages home to audiences.


 
Music with a message

What’s in a catchy tune? Historically, everything from brand loyalty to revolution. How many of us can still remember childhood jingles? How long does a revolution song linger on a country’s lips? Music is a central part of popular culture; it 's entertaining and provides a socially accepted medium for the repetition of messages (popular songs are played over and over again). Music offers a powerful, yet largely untapped, medium to communicate messages and create positive attitudes around all types of issues, such as health, HIV/AIDS, conflict prevention, human rights, etc. CMFD Productions develops, writes, records and produces music., both for our radio dramas and during music projects.
