When they announced they were reprinting the book, I ordered it in May and it arrived 2 weeks ago. As for the DVD, I believe the link posted above to the Salt & Light production is the same one as the DVD. It runs 1 hour. Aimee, you may want to watch the video and then compare it with the DVD description. It’s very moving. The pope invited him to speak about his prison experience before a large delegation at the Vatican. He was too humble but the pope insisted. He described how, while in prison, he asked to cut wood. The guards asked why. He said he wanted to make a cross. They said that was forbidden. He said if they turn their heads, they won’t see. He fashioned the cross and then buried it in a bar of soap that he took with him to the next prison. There, he asked the guards if he could have a piece of electrical wire. They asked if he planned to hang himself. He said, no but if they turn their heads they won’t see. He stripped the wire and fashioned a chain. Once he was released from prison, he put the two together. That is the cross, hanging from the chain, that he is holding in both of the above photos.
