Have you looked into using a proxy ip?
Where is the tiki-ish looking location with all the solid state and em games thatās featured in the film?
Thatās the Fraser Valley Flipout.

I also want to buy this but canĀ“t. 
LetĀ“s hope they make it available to the other 95 % of the worldĀ“s population as well.
āI know those restrictions are there for a reason, but I was really looking forward for this doc for a long time.ā
What reasons could that be?

Maurizio wasnāt video recording at PAPA 19 either. As far as Maurizio knew, the film was ādoneā. I was sitting beside him when he got the text from the producers who asked him to āStart Filmingā when Robert was doing well in the finals; they told him if Robert wins this, they will do a last minute edit of the film. So Maurizio starting filming. Those last minute additions from PAPA 19 were filmed by Maurizio. You could not have asked for a more timely fairy-tale ending to that movie.

Because that was the one local tournament, the video crew was there the entire weekend. I think they played the full 40+ hours of footage in 40 seconds!
The possible reason for a region restriction could be a pending deal with, letās say, a European distributor who wants to show the doc in theatres or wants to release a dvd/bluray.
Anyway, you could use a VPN Tunneling service like Tunnelbear to access the movie. Super easy app for pc/mac. Itās free for the first 500mb. Activate it, buy or rent the movie and than disable or uninstall tunnelbear.
Once you have bought the movie, you can watch/stream it from any location in the world

My wife and I did joke though that my brother was a total asshole
haha, I think you explained it right. Maybe it is what they were going for as representing the difficulty of the social interaction and queues. I think I noticed Cayle being on the same ātrainā as Zachās in the video too 
I think they werenāt necessarily being dismissive of Robert, just to busy thinking about their tournament. I generally donāt talk to people during matches because I donāt want to distract them or myself.
I just finished watching the documentary and really enjoyed it. Fantastic job by Robert and all those involved!

Documentary or unscripted television editors are going to use everything that happens in the footage or within an interview to make a deliberate positive or negative tick in the course of a narrative.
I havenāt seen the movie (canāt wait), but one should always think critically regarding a characterās portrayal in a documentary. Unscripted producers are going to distill an individualās feelings and opinions to something very simple to understand. Iām sure Wizard Mode is as nice as they come, but Iāll be interested in seeing how they create conflict or the sense of an antagonist. King of Kong certainly figured out how it was going to do that.

The antagonist seemed pretty clearly to be the pinball machines and Robertās high expectations on his own performance. Which seems just about right to me

SPOILER ALERT!!
I was looking forward to watching and seeing if the ending was changed 
I buckled and used a VPN. For anyone else region restricted, the simplest way I found was to use the new (development) version of Opera browser available from http://www.opera.com/developer
This has free and unlimited use VPN built in. In Opera navigate through Menu/Privacy and Security to enable the VPN. Then browse to a website and switch region using the VPN button near the address bar.
Really enjoyed the film. Robert and the pinball community come across really well I thought. Hope it finds success beyond the pinheads
Thanks for the tip! Iāll use this too, much appreciated.
What are peopleās opinions of this as less a movie for pinheads and more just a rad human interest piece? Usually have a hard time convincing the fiancee that anything remotely pinball related might reel her in for other reasons, but I think thatās just me.
I freaking loved it, though. People would also be wise in checking out Tommy Skinnerās interview with Robert and one of the producers on the most recent episode of This Flippinā Podcast.

Well I finally made time to watch it and I really liked it. Girlfriend watched most of it with me and she thought it was nice, too. Of course she thought Robert was cute.
Amazing, I was expecting the Papa 19 stuff to be just a little epilogue, but it really didnāt seem like a last minute addition if you didnāt know.
Yeah, I thought the stuff with Z. Sharpe played a little harsh, but it helped the movie, so thatās cool.
