You can order this online from Aro Video [http://www.arovideo.co.nz/film.php?FilmID=2193] and I'm not sure about showing it in a classroom, but I think if you buy the DVD then that's ok.

How could a purchase a DVD of the full movie and would it be all right to share the DVD in a classroom setting?
