Description was written before the event

A documentary from Artactive production and Blackout productions returns to the era when video was ruled by quick dubbing, films were hunted on black markets, and home video screenings were everyday entertainment.

How do the pirates, dubbers, distributors, and everyone else who kept people supplied with videos remember those years?
