I purchased a video copy of _Blockade_ about a year ago from Facets Multimedia
in Chicago.  Try there.
 
By the way, I've written a paper based on primary research (mostly at the
Wisconsin Center for Film and Television Research) on the enormous controversy
generated by this film, an unusual attempt by Hollywood to portray a
contemporary war (one without a clear sense of which is the right side, or
without knowing who's going to win).  I'll zap you a copy if you're interested.
