Dec 13, 2021 55m Documentary Drama

In the 80s, the world was happily typing away on their Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum computers. However, not everybody had access to these wonders of technology. In Yugoslavia, people weren't allowed and couldn't afford to have a computer in their home, so they had to improvise. This campaign is a story about the origins of the Balkans computer scene and Yugoslavia's very own personal computer.
