Will the movie be shown in other places around the country or only in Texas? I would love to see it but I'm not flying to Texas just to see a movie.

Jonas Brown McCurley was my great x 4 uncle. He was the brother of my great great grandfather George Washington McCurley. I would like to know if there is any way of watching this. Can I rent this ? Thank you, Doyle McCurley

The following information is about the release of the film, "The Great Hanging - A Documentary Film":

The Great Hanging FINALLY RELEASED!
Hi Everyone,
It’s been a long road to get to here, but we finally were able to get through all of the legal hoops we were encountering and I’m proud to say that The Great Hanging is now officially available for pre-order on Vimeo On Demand today! It will be coming to Amazon Prime Video by the end of this week. Further releases to iTunes, Google Play and Kanopy should be forth coming as the year goes on.

The official release date is April 24th. So please check out The Great Hanging Facebook Page and let’s get as many people renting and buying this film as possible. I can’t thank you all enough for everything you have done to help make this film happen. And please know that I’m still pitching a feature version of the film to executives in LA. We do have the producers of Coyote from Paramount Network attached, but this business is a brutal and tedious one, so fingers crossed!
I’m wishing you all the very best in this crazy time!
Best,
Johnathan
