IMO, if the documentary could be shown in the US it would be, at least that's the logical conclusion given the documentary was made to be shown in the widest market available, I would think.
Perhaps the best thing to do is find out HOW it was shown in the other countries? How were the rights to distribute the documentary in the European markets obtained and by whom?
To be shown in the U.S. (assuming there are no legal restraints) one would have to buy the distribution rights. Isn't that how it works? Maybe that's the problem. No one has bought the rights or the "rights to distribution" are some how in dispute, or otherwise unobtainable at the moment?
Who the hell knows? As was pointed out earlier, this documentary has been promoted on various websites operated by persons who appear to have some connection with the documentary. I suggest interested parties contact these people, or the producers.
Also, anyone with access to legal filings may be able to find out if there are any lawsuits filed.
Either way, it sounds like the documentary definitly had an impact on people who were fortunate enough to watch it. Apparently there are two versions, one longer than the other. Anyone know what was deleted from the shorter version?
