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.

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?

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.
I didn't even know YouTube did this.
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.
