  It's uploaded by the film's production company so they might have limited it to the United States. Here's the website for the film, I highly recommend watching it: https://www.generalmagicthemovie.com/ https://www.generalmagicthemovie.com/

      It is possible to buy the full version on Vimeo. I just watched it and tl;dw: The folks at General Magic invented/envisioned a mobile handheld computer with tons of capabilities and a human-centered user interface (aka the iPhone before the iPhone, but fifteen years before it). Development and investment proceeded with big hope, hype and excitement, but then the web became popular, which they ignored, and made personal computers more relevant, and Apple released the Newton at the time. They struggled to hit product release deadlines and when they finally released a product, sales were negligible. Soon, the company shut down because it failed as a business, to the great sadness and disappointment of employees. So a story of an idea implemented too early, before its time and technology had come and had a chance to be accepted by the public.
