Argh US only.

I've been dying to see this film. I wish the filmmaker would allow purchase or rentals in non-US countries.

I can't watch it either - being in the UK.

Aaahh! I've just searched some links, with most of them still not allowing me to watch it in the UK, but these two links say you can watch it at home. I presume one has to pay, but I haven't got that far yet and have to pop out just now. Let me know if any of you manage to watch it via one of these links.

These are just trailers, there is no full-length version on Youtube.

Such retriction in broadcasting is a quite general issue with public broadcasters.

Apologies to those outside the US who can't view the video. I didn't realize there were geographic restrictions when I posted the link.

I saw the film in the theatre in Vancouver, and the director was there to answer questions!
It was really a good experience.
I watched it again when PBS broadcasted it recently, and was amused at a couple of minor edits that most likely made it more palatable for some TV viewers.

That made me chuckle as well. It is PBS, after all...

Well it is PBS, my recollection is that PBS also invested in the movie's creation, so I'm happy to cut them some slack.

One that comes to mind ...
Let us just say that we learned a bit more than necessary about the intimacies of the relationship between Gerry Winogrand and his first wife.

Christ All Mighty.!
I did not note the time, but it was toward the end.
They are discussing color, and that Joel Meyrowitz says he is printing color "now" and that it is almost as easy as B&W.
Garry says Bull Shit.
They guys says, "That is what Joel said".
Garry said it would be hard for him because he shoots 600 rolls a year.!

Did he really shoot that much.!
I can understand that maybe in a period of 3-4-5 months, you might shoot two roll a day.
Did he really shoot 600 rolls for several years in a row.?

I suppose it would be easy to shoot 2 rolls a day if that is all i did. I am not a professional photographer, so there is no way i could deal with that amount.
Although, i guess he couldn't either. He reportedly had several thousand rolls of undeveloped 35mm film.
It just sounds a staggering number

Two rolls was day limit for many street photogs. But not for him. This is why he is often unsurpassed by others. He liked the process of taking pictures most. And if you are into candid, street here is two approaches.
Two rolls per day is then you approach or wait. It is kind of more difficult then just keep on shooting, so nobody thinks it is related specifically to them. Also been an artist he was trying to get something which comes accidentally.
I noticed how I was taking picture of something, but on the picture it was different.

600 per year is underestimate. It is two rolls per day only. If it is yours b&b it is not enough.

Yep - Steven Gandy has pictures of Gerry Winogrand's last Leica M4 on his website here: https://www.cameraquest.com/LeicaM4G.htm
Note the wear on the pressure plate.
By the way, the movie's writer and director, Sasha Waters Freyer, told us in the Q & A session after the screening that a significant portion (1/4 IIRC) of the images shown in the movie had never been shared publicly before, including a number from the many undeveloped rolls located after Gerry Winogrand's death.
She also talked about the controversy surrounding the undeveloped rolls - some people felt that they should not have been developed, as Gerry Winogrand wasn't around any more to "curate" them.

Like most of these PBS documentaries, I enjoyed watching it; and it helped me understand the guy a little more, and why some people happen to find his work noteworthy, even though I'm not personally attracted to it, or, for what it's worth, to any kind of machine-gunner methodology.
