Hyacinth Member	# Posted: 8 Apr 2009 18:51 Reply A relative living in the US tried to find the film and found it almost impossible to get a copy. All the main retailers dont have it, no one knew about it, it wasnt on Amazon or any of the other companies selling DVDs on the internet. She finally tracked one down at a public library. The odd thing with this copy is, at frequent intervals during the film (not just at the start) a large message appears at the top of the screen which obscures part of the film, to remind the viewer that the film is not to be shown in schools, at libraries or other public venues etc. What is going on? She feels as if the film is somehow being restricted in the US by being made more difficult to view than it would otherwise be. Are we being a bit paranoid or are distributers being leant on somehow?

The easiest way to get hold of a copy is through our distributor California Newsreel's website: http://www.newsreel.org/nav/title.asp?tc=CN0190&s= black%20gold The Black Gold Team
