Netflix: Missing in Action

Netflix advertises it has "virtually every DVD published -- from classics and new releases to TV and cable series."  Netflix touts it has 65,000 titles available with over 5,000 documentary DVDs.

Why then has Netflix decided not to carry a new documentary film about American POWs in Korea and Vietnam?  The documentary is Missing, Presumed Dead:  The Search for American POWs produced and directed by Bill Dumas. 

A promotional piece about the film states:

Hundreds of American POWs from the Korean War were abandoned in North Korea after hostilities ended in 1953.  The U.S. government declared them, "Missing, Presumed Dead."  This film unveils the mystery of why these POWs were abandoned, the probability some are still alive in North Korea and why our government doesn't want them back.

"Everything it says is the truth."  -- Ross Perot

MISSING, PRESUMED DEAD, investigates these persistent questions:

• Why were these POWs abandoned?
• Are some of these POWs still alive in North Korea and Vietnam?
• Why doesn't our government demand their repatriation?

Netflix carries over 5,000 documentary films ranging in subjects from the game of bingo to the sinking of the Titanic.  Why then won't Netflix carry this new documentary about American POWs?  If you're a Netflix customer, please urge them to carry Missing, Presumed Dead or at least explain why they won't.  Netflix Requests and Suggestions
