UNDA Radio

Federico Campana, Cornelia Schöpf

Dokumentar

Max Glauber, of Jewish origin, built  one of the first radio factories in Italy in in Dobbiaco in 1925, a small village in the middle of the mountains of South Tyrol.

UNDA will soon produce the radios of Radio Fascist Italy, called "Radio Rurale" and "Radio Balilla", which brought the Duce's propaganda into every household. Confronted with the racial laws and the events in Germany - which have been directly experienced through the part of the family in Prague -  family Glauber feels relatively safe in Italy. When in 1939 most of the factory workers should migrate to Germany, as part of the "option", the company moved to Como. 
The 70-year-old Lisa Glauber, daughter of Max, is on the trail of the UNDA radio. After 40 years of living in the U.S., she has taken up the project to reconstruct the moving story of her rather unusual family.
