At the time of its original release (August 15, 2016), it was banned in over 100 counties. This was mostly due to song licensing considerations, although Google, Facebook and YouTube all blocked the film for violating their "violent or graphic content" policies, despite the short having no violence or graphic content whatsoever. As a result, the film was only screened once - at the International Kansk Video Festival in Kansk, Russia (Siberia).
