wojtek hajdas Sep 30 2013 5:57 am Dear all,

I watched this movie flying the airplane to asia. As I liked it very much I wanted to show it to my family and friends. To my big surprise it is virtually very hard to buy this movie in Europe. I have tried so many channels without success. Can you please tell me how could I buy/order it?

Thank you very much for your help best regards W. Hajdas
