This documentary has seen limited releases which can make finding copies a bit tricky. Original screenings were more localized, and that adds to its charm—most are probably out there in niche collections.

It’s not one of those widely circulated titles, so it adds a layer of interest for collectors who appreciate the tales behind the music.
