PTTV takes an introspective look into the public access world and answers its own crucial question, why is public access TV so important? During the renegotiation of the Manhattan cable TV contract, demonstrators and community supporters meet outside Time Warner to demand sufficient access to cable television equipment, facilities and administration in order to create a truly democratic media. Produced by Cathy Scott and Amy Melnick. Featuring Mary Ying Welsh, Mary Feaster, Simone Farkhondeh, Linda Iannacone, Joel Katz and Shu Lea Cheang.
