The Story of Tetris

Gaming Historian recounts how Alexey Pajitnov created Tetris in the Soviet Union and how a fight over publishing rights spanned the West, Mirrorsoft, Nintendo and the Cold War. It runs about an hour with chaptered parts.

HN recommends it as an excellent documentary on Tetris and its tangled licensing history.
