Thanks for the responses to my "Prisoner's of Silence" video request.  What I have learned, and I am quite confident in this information, is that the video is no longer available for purchase.  (Certainly, if you discover otherwise please let me know.) As I was told, "The rights to the program have expired and, therefore, it cannot be distributed in any way."  Without going into all the details, PBS has apparently decided not to "re-up" the rights to elements of the video that have expired such as music and stock footage that would cost them money to reacquire. 
 
So, no one can distribute the video.  However, I understand that you can make personal copies.  So, if you are concerned that the videotape will eventually degrade you can copy it to a DVD or some other format to preserve it for a longer time. And, if you don't currently have a copy, you can borrow one from your library or other source.  Highly recommended!
