Documentary Preview: 'Home of the Wind - A History of Moonsorrow'

Pagan & folk metal fans rejoice! A Moonsorrow documentary is currently in the works, funded largely by an Indiegogo campaign. While I'm not entirely a fan of crowdfunding campaigns, I think it's interesting to see some of these projects come to fruition that would likely not be possible otherwise. The one thing that irritates me regarding this documentary is that physical copies apparently will NOT be made available unless you support the Indiegogo campaign and choose to pledge the amount that offers a physical copy as one of the perks. Which, as a currently almost flat-broke metalhead, is a little annoying. Why not sell some physical copies through an official webstore for the band or somewhere similar once the project is complete? This would allow some fans who can't currently contribute to the crowdfunding campaign to have an opportunity to get ahold of a physical copy in the future. Personally, I hate the idea of only being able to potentially access a digital copy.

That being said:
This upcoming documentary has the full support of the band members of Moonsorrow, and the teaser clips look pretty promising. Some of the discussion surrounding paganism and Moonsorrow's influences are particularly relevant and intriguing.
