Flowstate is available to stream for free on Plex.tv at the link below. This isn't an illegal rip but was submitted to Plex.tv by the Flowstate production team. It's ad supported so they get money from the ads rather than from people paying for the documentary itself. Just keep in mind that the streamable version on Plex.tv isn't as high a quality as the versions on Blu-ray or Amazon Prime.

Nice find Snow!!!!!
[edit] I tried looking it up on the Plex app on my cell phone so I can chromecast it to TV but it said the video was not available. But if I just click on the link from my cell phone with the Plex app installed, it opens it via the app and you can cast via chromecast!! #winning lol
I thought it was ok. Nothing special. JB looks weird, steel is an a-hole, Bot is the best. I didn’t notice any flying from Drew and didn’t know any of the woman present lol. Atlanta does look to be the spot to fly.

This right here basically summed it up very nicely and succinctly.
Great find Snow, I watched it today whilst working. Found it interesting but ultimately they just focused on a few dudes. Found the information about the history from von trappy interesting. Found the stuff at the end about the flowstate interesting, I know flying for me definitely calms me down, especially if it was a good rip. The soundtrack was horrible at the end and felt like the last scene of The Gladiator, lol. Aspirational music doesn't always need to sound so upliftingly positive, lol..
I feel like they gave Bot some valium for his interviews, he was way calmer than normal and a little bit non-Bot if you ask me.
I still haven't watched it but unless this documentary gets out to a wider non-FPV audience then it will have unfortunately failed it goals, because the idea behind it was to try and get as many people who aren't into FPV watching it for positive publicity reasons. For us FPV pilots it's just a reminder of what we spend most of our spare time doing. I would love to know how much percentage of it's viewing audience falls into that category, but I guess there isn't any real way of finding that out because viewing figures can't go down to that detail without someone filling in an actual survey.
Just sat down and watched it, Thanks for the link!. It was not nearly as good as I wanted it to be, but the Cinematic section was great and I think would be Interesting outside of "Us" , Finky is a very good Orator.
Flowstate: The FPV Drone Documentary is now available to view for free on YouTube at the link below. It currently appears to be region restricted to some countries outside of the USA, so if you get a message saying that it's not available in your country, just use a VPN connected to a USA server and it will work

That "YouTube Movies and TV" channel has licensed content on it, so I'm guessing / assuming that some of the stuff can only be legally shown in the USA and that the whole channel probably has a global region restriction applied to it.

Yeah. The only reason he didn't put it on his own channel in the first place is because the "YouTube Movies and TV" channel has almost 180 million subscribers so he figured it would get more exposure being on that channel. So it's quite ironic that no-one outside of the US can actually view it. Even if you search for that channel or documentary title outside of the US, no results get returned, so it's like it doesn't even exist. I guess if he gets permission to post it on his own channel it will be viewable outside of the US, but to a much smaller audience and mostly by people who are already into FPV and are following his channel. That whole documentary unfortunately turned out to a complete flop outside of the FPV community which is a shame because JB alone sunk about $40k USD of his own money into it.
