When the program is available to rent, underneath ‘Unlock now’ is the ‘give as a gift’ button. You’ll enter their details and complete the transaction. You need to be located in a country where the program is available in order to gift (i.e. if the program is only available in Canada or the US, you would also need to be located in Canada or the US in order to complete the purchase, as the system registers your location at the time of purchase).
We have tour hosts around the world who are continuing to offer their own programs, whether virtually or in-person, so these programs are not available everywhere.
Banff on Demand film programs are available in Canada, the US and select countries for certain programs.
