Will Someone Please Release This Digitally or on DVD?????

While I cannot speak for the full feature film and how effective it, I can say that the clips I have seen are very harrowing and powerful given our present situation. After having seen a collection of clips from this film circulating on various video platforms(not youtube), I became interested in watching this film. Unfortunately, I cannot find it anywhere online, not even a copy to buy anywhere that I have looked, just film posters. I don't think it has ever seen a release stateside, I'm not sure a full version exist with subtitles either. Clearly there is renewed interest in this film due to it's seemingly prophetic vision of an orchestrated "pandemic". I coudn't help watch the clips from this film and get really upset, I mean, some of the stuff they said has been said VERBATUM by health officials, particularly the parts about personal protection gear.... These things were previously understood to be rather ineffective, and yet now, we have built a pseudo(fake) science and downright superstitious attitude towards things such as masks.
Given this timely resurfacing of some of the film, we need a proper release with English subtitles(ideally other languages as well). This film was released now over 40 years ago, and I would not be shocked if it had some influence of some of the events going on, despite it's current relative obscurity.
I am writing this, hoping someone will see this who has a copy of it, who can distribute it on some online platform, or some distribution company who might release it, there is MASSIVE interest, and it would definitely do well, and probably even become a minor hit on VOD or DVD. I would garner it could even gain a cult status, if released in the next few months. Please, please, please somebody release this.
