       | YouTube says this is unavailable. Is it only available in France
       | and Germany? Are there alternative sources? I'm interested in
       | watching this...

         | You can try their website [0].

         | Their documentaries seem to be subtitles in English, Polish,
         | Spanish and Italian (in addition to the original French/German
         | that is typical for all Arte programs).
         | 
         | So my guess would be it is made available for European Union
         | only. Although you could argue that there are not many
         | countries left in the EU whose main language is English.

           | Thanks for your help :) Unfortunately the Arte TV website is
           | also region locked and doesn't let me watch this from South
           | America. A shame, it sounded interesting.

             | personally yourself. Yeah, that's what I meant.

       | Most comments here are related to availability in certain
       | regions. It blows my mind that is so difficult to access content
       | depending on where you are.
       | 
       | I absolutely hate geoblocking. There is no single reason I can
       | come up with why it could be a good idea.

         | Arte is a French/German public TV channel (excellent one in my
         | opinion). I guess this video is blocked outside these two
         | countries (also available in Belgium, Monaco, Luxembourg,
         | Austria, and Switzerland I think)
