I don't know. I'll ask them to try again. It didn't work for Hanna in Latvia.
I was reading the comments on the PBS site and a couple said it wasn't available in Russia.

Hmm, then we have at least two countries where the movie's "banned from being shown" - Russia and Latvia. But why would one do things like that? I just don't get it...

The whole copyright debate, pirating and digital rights have just passed you by?

It's down to the money, there are no ad or commercial profits coming from Latvia and Russia, therefore they can't watch this American content.
Try watching TV on Zattoo or listening to Pandora or Last.fm streaming and you'll see whether your "mystery" location is deemed worthy or not.

With your political opinions I would have imagined that you'd be staunchly anti-sharing and in favour of the Pirate Bay guys being extradited to the US.
