90 min film or 4 part series?

I wanna contribute to the page for this title, but it's a bit confusing.
At film festivals it apparently plays as a single film - but on streaming services it's a 4 part series, with chapter titles.
On IMDB - it's currently listed as a single title; but the series format of dividing up the participants and songs by episode is usually preferred by the site administrators.
Can someone fix this?

Episode 1: The Foundation (aired September 4, 2016)
Episode 2: From The Underground To The Mainstream (September 12, 2016)
Episode 3: The New Guard (September 19, 2016)
Episode 4: The Birth of Gangsta Rap (September 26, 2016)

Looks like there should be two different entries for this.
