You don't need an all region player. This film has never been released here in the United States.

Seminole
As a Florida native I had never seen or heard of this movie. I got it and was very pleased with it. It was very entertaining and informational about the Seminole Indian Chief Osceola that I didn't know. I enjoyed the movie very much and recommend it strongly for those that like history movies.
