Los 80: videoclubs, terremoto y un Mundial en Ciudad de México | Postales de una época perdida

What was it like to live in Mexico City during the 1980s? In this postcard, we explore everyday life in the old Federal District: phone booths, video rental stores, Mexican television, the economic crisis, the 1985 earthquake, and the 1986 World Cup. A decade that changed the city—and everyone who lived through it—forever. If you remember those years, this video is for you. If you didn’t live through them, here you’ll understand why they remain so deeply rooted in collective memory.
