I kept saying to my mom 'I didn't know that, why didn't they teach us about that, why haven't they made a movie about that?!' It's really sad that history isn't presented in a more interesting fashion in school.
And I don't understand region locking at all. Well, I do, in theory, if you're going to be airing in a different country and need the sponsors' money. But, I would very happily pay for a British TV license if they let me stream content from the BBC website. There should be an option for 'if you let me watch this, I will pay for it even though I don't live in the country of origin'. Or, like, pay extra for my Netflix per month if I could access the American and UK libraries. Like how Ancestry offers a 'just Canadian records' option and an 'all the records option' and an 'all the records plus other stuff' option. I feel like distributors need to catch up with the times. /totally random rant
