Mandelbrot documentary has the wrong release date / year

Hello, maybe someone @ IMDB can research and find out the correct release date? (it's certainly not 30th Oct, 1995, as currently stated)

"Clouds are not Spheres", https://www.imdb.com/title/tt15806620 was at the earliest released in 2000, not 1995.
See attachment, the very last credit states production year as "MM", i.e. the year 2000.

That it can't possibly have been released in 1995 can also be verified by watching the doc. :-)
Benoit Mandelbrot himself says that he just had his 75th birthday when the interview took place.
Later, he says he was born in 1924 (also as per Wikipedia), so the interview obviously was in 1999.

Hi, the problem is; I don't know the exact release date.
Only, as stated, that the production year is 2000.
You must have better resources to find out the correct release date.
