Can only watch a movie in one language

Hi! I've recently purchased a movie in the iTunes store, and, as I'm purchasing it in Russia, the default language in it is a Russian dub. However, I assumed that, since it's an American movie, it would also be available in English, that I'd be able to switch to during playback.


But, turns out, that's not an option. Does anybody know, is there a workaround to purchasing and watching movies in English, short of using VPN or setting a country code in iTunes settings to a different country, which doesn't seem very convenient?


Thanks in advance!

The distributor/rights holder determines the content. If they chose not to make the English audio available in your region, there's nothing to be done about it.

It would also be a violation of Apple's Terms of Sale and could lead to your account being suspended.
