It's on youtube [1]. They released another documentary with the same name and the same Newark subject with 2020 updates [2]. They both have the same duration but are different.

[1] Policing the Police (2016)

Both come with optional English subtitles.

Can't edit above comment. Invidious to the rescue [1]. Just enable 'proxy videos' in settings (circle icon).

Extra confusing that they share a lot of footage. The 2020 release is an update more than a new work.

I guess it's US only? Can't access from EU.

Confirmed, can't access it from Canada, but with a VPN to the US, it's available.

Who makes these choices?

I didn't even know YouTube did this.

It’s similar to the BBC blocking non-UK streamers.

The BBC is not free though.

Neither is PBS. It’s funded through grants, donations and government funding via the Corporation for Public Broadcasting[0]

Right, but even to endusers, the BBC isn't free, unlike PBC.

The BBC is free. There's no charge to use the BBC.

There's a TV licence, but that's payable if you watch any live tv as it's broadcast.

Or iPlayer. Really consuming any BBC media requires a TV license legally.

You do need a licence if you watch any tv live as it's broadcast, or BBC iPlayer.

But you'd need a licence if you only ever watch Channel 4 and never watched any BBC content. The licence is not tied to BBC content - you don't need a licence to use the website or listen to BBC sounds or use BBC radio.

The licence is tied to watching live tv as it's broadcast or BBC iPlayer.

On the off chance PBS allows access outside the US: https://player.pbs.org/widget/partnerplayer/2365792793/

Surprisingly it worked here in Sweden, thank you!

Works for me, also EU.

Use torsocks and youtube-dl to circumvent your region blocking.

Works in India.
