DOKUMENTARNI PROGRAM-DEKADE-POZIVNI ZA JUGOSLAVIJU
Stanovi u celom svetu, pa i u SFRJ, nisu mogli da se zamisle bez fiksnog telefona koji se po pravilu uvek nalazio u predsoblju. Put razvoja telefonije u Jugoslaviji podrazumevao je umrežavanje velike države u kojoj su gradovi imali prednost, a male sredine i sela često bili osuđeni na nekoliko govornica koje su bile prozor u svet.

Sve to istražuju “DEKADE” kroz razgovore sa onima koji su živeli u eri kada mobilni telefoni još uvek nisu postojali.
