For Rent for Free: Frontline's Modern Meat

[Guest guest]

I made a clear VHS copy of the RERUN,

 

All I require is a refundable $20 deposit, which prevents me from

having to chase down the tape. YOu can borrow it for 1 to 2 weeks.

 

I can meet you in SF or Oakland area or any Bay Area location.

 

The best way is you pick the tapes from my home in SF.

 

Next time I see something like this I " ll try to post it to the list.

I wasn't sure if it was " local " enough for this list.

 

It was shown on KQED, channel 9, SF.
