I think it's coming to DVD soon.
Apparently it's a little more docudrama than documentary. Watch it and then find some supplimentary material out there.
Comin' Jan 29.
You want some supplementary material, here ya go (spoilers, people, so stop reading if you haven't seen it):
- it looks like Billy Mitchell got the record back in June 2007, just three months after Wiebe submitted his record breaking score via video tape

- upon further investigation, the 'verification" of this score was a referee witnessing it live rather than a recording of the actual game being played. Pretty solid evidence, right? Well, normally yeah, except for the fact that it's Walter Day who's the ref (and who owns Twin Galaxies), the same Walter Day who "accepted" that grainy video from the flick and who thinks of Mitchell (ironically, a judge himself) as his golden boy

There's this weird obsession by a very small community of people tied to Twin Galaxies with Mitchell, they revere this guy. Especially Day. And Donkey Kong was the first big game with this kind of record attached to it, so it's like Day's big ticket record.
Just an extension of the conspiracy the film makers were alluding to in order to keep the record with Mitchell and not Wiebe.
