You just asked who the people were that had seen the film if there was no distribution, the obvious answer is people outside the US.

The film maker is saying that a contributing factor to no one in the US picking up distribution is the fact that a larger percentage of the population in the US think evolution is false and is an atheist plot to pull people away from religion than in other countries where this movie is playing (which is true and supported by the stats).

Distributors are avoiding it, possibly because they don't want to have to deal with the negativity that will result from the fundamentalists.

Which I agree is a stupid reason.

Hollywood is notoriously liberal. Hard to believe that not ONE movie company would pick the film up.
Could be, though as they point out they released Dragonball... There are far worse movies being picked up and released.

Maybe because the US just doesn't have the market for something without 'splosions?
