“After the completion of the film, something came to light that was relevant to the film. The National Geographic Society took the appropriate steps to look into this matter responsibly. Following this review, we assessed the findings, which led to our decision to no longer air the film.”

    Problem is to my knowledge you can't even pirate the movie. It's only been going out in film festivals and screening circles, it's never been aired on TV. But they pull the movie out from the remaining of climbing and climate science festival circles. The only way to get the movie is if you have insider connections. Maybe I should post this on /r/lostmedia

      I have never seen a torrenting site post SCR videos. That would be illegal. Once people see the studio watermark, I'm sure they all report it to the FBI.

        They're rare, especially now a days, but they've happened. There used to be a "screener season" when we'd get a bunch of movies leaked that way.

        Most are old but even on the first page I see a 2025 release. Definitely happens. With multiple copies they can bypass the watermarks too.

      Looks like it was available on Banff's site.

      It's "expired" now, but it seems like anyone who watched it there before should still be able to access it.

      So there's a possibility that someone could download and reupload it. We'd just have to find someone who had previously gotten access.
