An independent filmmaker has just released this documentary to the world.

https://www.vpm.org/npr-news/2023-05...orical-footage

It's 14.7 GB in length, and probably clogging up the internet for the next week or so. Numerous visual images are in the "public domain", which is a nebulous concept when the film or photograph is hidden from the public. Disney should buy the subject matter, and lock it up in copyright prison for the next century. However, the filmmaker claims that he has released the Hindenburg photo to the masses via his movie. One wonders if that is true or not.

N.B.: The film was released in 2022. The NPR story is creating new interest in the work.
