The Museum of Badalona collaborates in the documentary about Pere Mitjans

The Museum of Badalona collaborates in the documentary about Pere Mitjans that is being carried out by Badalona Comunicació. This is a historical documentary about the figure of Pere Mitjans, one of the first radio journalists from Badalona, who was condemned by the Franco dictatorship for having directed Ràdio EAJ 39 Badalona, during the Civil War.

The work uses audiovisual archives, photographs and press from the time which, in part, have been provided by the Museum. It also includes interviews with family members and historians, such as the one conducted on Tuesday, June 20th, with contemporary history professor Joan Villarroya i Font, which was recorded in the Historical Archive of the City of Badalona (AHBDN), managed by the Museum. The aim of this research is to review the life of Pere Mitjans and explore the role played by local radio in key moments of Badalona’s recent history.
