My Two Cents
Growing up in Venezuela in the 1970s and 80s meant I had the incredible luxury of choosing between four channels to watch on television. Two of them were state-owned, one of which functioned mainly as the country’s version of the American PBS. Few, if any commercials, and a lot nature programs where week in and week out we could watch in fascinated horror as lions tore into gazelles on the African plains.
