Why this status applies
This short educational film was produced for the American National Red Cross and released in 1975. Under the Copyright Act of 1909, as amended, all works published with copyright notice between 1964 and 1977 were granted automatic renewal by the Copyright Renewal Act of 1992. No manual renewal filing was required to maintain protection for its 95-year term.
A specific federal copyright registration exists for this work (Registration Number MP27164), filed on May 1, 1975, with a listed publication date of January 1, 1975. Because it was a registered US production during the 1964–1977 window, it is currently protected under US law and will not enter the public domain until January 1, 2071 (95 years from publication).
