 * Delete. There may be coverage, and it may even be in reliable sources, but there's no significant coverage at all. Every source I could find only mentioned this documentary in passing. APerson (talk!) 13:20, 12 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect and mention at the articvle of its director/producer Chris Mortensen. Since so many books and news sources refer to and quote from his documentary film, it can at least be spoken of even if not having the same level of coverage as some big-studio highly-touted blockbuster, specially as it is verifiable as having screened commercially more than 5 years after initial release.

 * Just saying, there might not be as many sources as you are presenting it. 3 of the 5 news sources are Bleacher Report blogs. There's only 36 book sources when you click to the end of the Google Books search, and some of them are on "Power Electronics", "Particle Physics" and "Orthopaedics". But I'm fine with a redirect, added a sentence to Mortensen's article. starship.paint  ~ ¡ Olé !  14:00, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Just saying I'll support a redirect to director/producer Chris Mortensen. starship.paint  ~ ¡ Olé !  03:40, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Redirect - from basic search results, I can tell this is a respected documentary that was the first of its kind. If it had been aired today it probably would have extensive coverage and reviews. But we do need coverage in RS and I just can't find any.  —Мандичка YO 😜 03:42, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
