Thanks, @scottdave . I guess it's expired now.

I know. I don't know if it will be available, again. I liked it. I'd call it a "popular science" style documentary, but well done. In the meantime, check out this Shannon web exhibit at Bell Labs https://www.bell-labs.com/claude-shannon/ I didn't realize that Nokia now owns Bell Labs.

I was browsing through Curiosity Stream, and noticed that The Bit Player is available to watch there-

So if you subscribe to that service, you can watch it there.
