His courage made them champions.

Set in 1976 Anderson, South Carolina, Radio unfolds as football coach Harold Jones befriends an intellectually disabled African-American youth known as Radio, who becomes his devoted assistant. Despite initial warmth, Jones faces mounting criticism from parents and fans who see Radio’s presence as a distraction from the team’s championship aspirations. The film captures the evolving dynamics of loyalty and prejudice in a small, racially charged community, where personal bonds challenge societal norms.
