They blocked it here too.
But I was able to watch it on the nearest station yesterday and I must say I was disappointed a bit as I was expecting it to be more photography centric.
Instead they concentrated on talking about the corporate part of Polaroid, it's impact in being one of the first companies to be open to black employees, but also one that was selling passport and ID card equipment to South Africa which used it to make the infamous apartheid passports.
They barely talked about the SX-70, they didn't even mention packfilm and didn't mention how important the company's work with artists was. You only saw a glimpse of Andy Warhol, no mention of Ansel Adams or anyone else.
To put it simply, it was mostly a documentary about Edwin Land and his chief chemist. The documentary ends with the Kodak lawsuit and the first Polaroid bankruptcy.
While it was well made and well researched, they could have made it a lot more uplifting and inspiring. But instead, they made something where they show no sympathy towards Land and leave you hanging on a sour note.
