I wonder what's holding the release in the US?

BBC doesn't release most of their documentaries in the US. I wouldn't assume there are any plans being held up, it's just too niche for any US distributors to bother. Maybe the interest due to India trying to ban it will change that...

I never understood the Indian ban. Aren't BBC documentaries available in the UK only anyways? Indian residents couldn't have accessed it without a VPN anyways.

It’s the result of a thin skinned paranoid government ruling the country.

There was gonna be absolutely no impact whatsoever if they had just kept quiet and not said a thing.

Instead their touchiness has meant that this has become a much bigger deal and is actually impacting their favorability negatively, at least anecdotally.

It's so pathetic how thin skinned this "strong"men are. Oh, you think I bear a nearly non-existent resemblance to a much loved storybook bear? Off to """reeducation""" camps with you!

You make a milquetoast documentary about things I did a decade ago that were pretty bad, GTFO!

"No you're a puppet, you are you are"

It's just pathetic. How does anyone look at these people and think they are strong?

Yeah, I can just feel the Streisand Effect kicking in.

It was posted on YouTube but our authoritarian thin-skinned Prime Minister issued orders to Google to take it down.

Why does the prime minister of a country I don't live in get to take videos down from servers hosted in the country I do?
