Christie began carrying a recorder around with her to capture stories when strangers started talking. "I've got stories about the broadcasts, people hearing radio coming out of their fridge, kids coming home from school and being alone and being afraid that there was someone in the house because it sounded like someone was talking in the basement," she says. The radio waves would also cause lights and equipment to turn on and off at random, and the foreign-language broadcasts went deeper into the subconscious of some people: "People would be convinced that they'd dream in other languages and then call up the technicians to find out how that happened." - like to ask if their minds became radios????

The final cut of the film pairs these stories, interviews with RCI technicians, Christie's own stories and audio recordings with images of the towers — in all seasons and all weather, including their demolition. (halifax story!)
