This video comes from a place of deep nostalgia for my chilhood, exacerbated I am sure by geographical displacement from the homeland, but largely it's a lament for all that we have lost and a prayer for all we can be, through the critical process of archiving our cultural memory.

80s PTV is a history of excellence, artistic triumph and resistance.

All clips in this video have been meticulously verified to be from the Zia era.
