I think there may be some question regarding the copyright status of "Guyana Tragedy" as there have been two releases of this made-for-TV film released within the last year by two different companies. VCI Entertainment released this last year and Alpha Video released it earlier this year. I have the VCI release; it's certainly not cleaned up in any way, but it is watchable.
