Another such title that comes to mind is the Making Sense of the Sixties series, which is about American history, and we've had to purchase our DVD copies from Australia. ?!??

Farhad,
There are all sorts of reasons films are not released in US/Canada though it is odd that a film about the US would be released in UK and not US. It could be anything from rights issues involving music, to it just not being worth the cost, to some grumpy rights holder. Obviously it is far more common with a foreign film but I do think a multi-system player is a must.

PS off topic but one American Feature film that has a rights issue in the US but not outside is Olson & Johnson's classic HELLZAPOPPIN which can be bought outside the US but copies sold in US are all crappy bootlegs. It is a strange world

    Why on earth it is not released in NTSC/Region 1 format? It just
    does not make sense.
