The real reason this hasn't been released in the U.S.

I had been led to believe this film was insanely graphic and I assumed that was why it wasn't released in the U.S. Yes, the film has a few disturbing sequences and photographs, but honestly, it wasn't nearly as shocking as I thought it would be. I feel the REAL reason this was never released in the U.S. was the use of John Lennon songs at the end.

This documentary has finally been released on both DVD and Blu-ray from Severin Films with the John Lennon songs retained on the soundtrack.

I knew it had been released but good to know the songs are there. That could have been what held it up in the past though.
