As soon as the owners of the film decide to allow ordinary people worldwide (and not just in NYC) to see it.

Right. It will happen the second the owners decide to let it happen. Nothing big pharma can do can prevent ordinary punters from seeing the film in their own living rooms. The only people who can truly prevent people from seeing the film are its owners.

Right now, I’d pay $25 to watch the film only once. But in a few months, perhaps not, who knows?

Were I trying to promote a film, controversy is the first thing I’d try to create. In this case it at least appears fortuitous.

“The film the vaccine-industrial-complex says you can’t see…until we put it on Hulu and Netflix!”

Kind of sad, really. I imagine the people who conceived of the film, did the creative work, the investigation, the hard yards, etc, are not the same as the people who are currently trying to make sure the film is profitable.

So, maybe the marketing/PR types need to get clued up and drop the hype. Yes, there were strong-arm tactics employed to get Tribeca to drop the film. Everybody gets that. Now let’s see the film. Let’s have the option to go to a local indy cinema, or purchase the right to stream the darn thing! It really isn’t that hard!

If the hype continues much longer, it’ll backfire and people will lose interest. If you keep telling people “you can’t see this film” eventually they’ll go watch something they CAN see.

Or, here’s a Radical Idea nobody’s ever thought of before. Stream. The Film. Online. For Money. Right Now.

Naaah. That’s silly. Let’s just resume the hand-wringing about 300 people being denied the privilege of seeing it, due to big-pharma strongarm tactics, and arrange for about 10,000 lucky people to see it, while ignoring the fact that the owners could easily arrange for 318 million people (and more) to have the chance to see it as soon as tomorrow, and make their investment back in the process in spades.
