YouTube says this is unavailable. Is it only available in France and Germany? Are there alternative sources? I'm interested in watching this...

You can try their website [0].

Their documentaries seem to be subtitles in English, Polish, Spanish and Italian (in addition to the original French/German that is typical for all Arte programs).

So my guess would be it is made available for European Union only. Although you could argue that there are not many countries left in the EU whose main language is English.

Legally there are none (Malta has nominated Maltese and Ireland Irish, even though English is the most used language in both).

Thanks for your help :) Unfortunately the Arte TV website is also region locked and doesn't let me watch this from South America. A shame, it sounded interesting.
Sounds like it's time to fire up the VPN with an exit node in a different region, er, I mean visit the region personally yourself. Yeah, that's what I meant.
When I tried to open the video with mpv this showed up:
