I really don't understand! This is perfect movie material!

I submitted "Day of Remembrance", a 6 minute compelling, thought-provoking, story in music. Parts of this composition are currently being used (No financial gains) in the documentary "Fascination: Helena's Story, about a Holocaust survivor's determination to live through 3 attempted executions. It was good enough for the movie, but not good enough for a music library? This composition in its entirety (once again no financial gains) is being played every year at the Birmingham Holocaust Education Association for the Holocaust Remembrance Day. This was recorded in a professional recording studio and the strings have fooled many who have listened. I suppose EVERY recording out there on TV, in film, commercials are perfect? Just listen to the new APPLE commercial and listen to the woman's voice singing! IT's Atrocious!!! and that made it to TV!
I am shocked!
Here is the listing:
ORGANIC UNDERSCORE INSTRUMENTALS are needed by a very successful, Non-Exclusive Music Library. They’re searching for a bunch of Instrumentals in a variety of moods, styles, and tempos that would fall in the general stylistic ballpark of the references below: Theme from “To Kill a Mockingbird” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t98LWNwUhI A Beautiful Mind Soundtrack – Main Theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr18I1PCECg IMPORTANT NOTE: These examples above were likely scored to picture and go through different moods, tempos, etc. because of scene changes. For the purpose of this request, you’d be very wise to stick to a singular motif and mood throughout your entire piece, so your submission is cohesive from top to bottom. If your piece goes through different moods, tempos, and styles, it’s going to be nearly impossible to use it in a scene. Give them well-crafted Instrumentals that effectively deliver a textured display of instruments that blend in and out of each other to create a unique piece of engaging Underscore. If you’re using any virtual instruments, they need to sound incredibly convincing! Please avoid submitting anything that sounds stiff, synthetic, or MIDI-driven. The more authentic sounding, the better! This is the perfect opportunity to show off your composition and arrangement skills, but you should still convey one emotion and mood from beginning to end. Having a developmental “arc” that makes your piece feel like it’s going somewhere is a good idea. Building as it goes is another way to say that Submissions should be at least 2 Minutes long, with Non-Faded endings and a natural decay/ring out. Do NOT copy the referenced music in any way, shape, or form. Use it only as a guide for texture, tone, and vibe. Broadcast Quality is needed
