There is a documentary, but I can't attest to its quality (I haven't watched it yet): http://www.zalafilms.com/films/countingabout.html.

Hmm... thanks, it looks quite good.

But why is streaming rental for 24 hours? Why can't we do rentals for two weeks for videos? Is there a good reason to make it so difficult to stream? I don't want to watch it a million times. I just want to make it through once, but it takes me several sittings typically to finish a movie.

I was thinking about watching this documentary two years ago. That sounds like the reason that I decided not to.

Money / capitalism.
