When I was 7, our class was brought to a neighboring elementary school to watch a projection of a short movie. It was about different nations of different colors, one blue, one yellow, and one red. Something happened and they all went to war against each other trying to paint each other with their own nation's color. This movie was incredible and really left a mark in my memory.

I only found it recently. It's called Rainbow War. I'm trying to find a physical copy of it, or even a digital copy if possible. The only place I could find it was on Amazon for nearly 100$ CAD. That seems excessive for a short film. Would anyone know of any other source to purchase it or, heck, even download it?

Not sure if any of these are close to you, but several libraries in western Canada seem to have copies available to borrow:

If you're not close to any of those libraries, try asking at your local library. They may have some means of doing an interlibrary loan, or have other suggestions.

I'm located in Montréal, but I can totally check my local library! Thanks for reminding me! :)

Cool! The resolution is poor though. I'd love to see it in higher rez. The movie's visuals are stunning.

Considering its age, finding anything in higher res than 480 may be very difficult if not impossible. I found a few links bobbing on the high seas, but those are low res as well.
