A Dangerous Life is a 1988 miniseries produced by an Australian production company about the Philippine People Power Revolution in 1986. Initially aired as a six-hour miniseries, it was trimmed down to 162 minutes for the home video release. The trimmed version is available on YouTube while except for a few scenes, the miniseries in its entirety has never surfaced online.
This blog post mentions some scenes not in the trimmed version that have made its way online. To quote some portions of it:
It seems the uploader of those excerpts, RedSeptember21, did not have the full miniseries, based on his comment on one of the videos featuring a scene from the miniseries which is still present in the trimmed version, which reads:
I found this VHS art in my favorites list, don't recall where I got this though. Probably it's the entire miniseries, but it may just be the trimmed version.
What would be the first step to searching for such an old piece of media?

The miniseries version has Tony interviewing Juan Ponce Enrile (played by Joonie Gamboa) for a short bit. When asked if he believed Galman killed Ninoy, Enrile says “no comment”, and leaves quickly. The miniseries version can be seen below (starting at 1:14 until 2:04)
[...] After the interview with Marcos, the miniseries shows opposition leaders meeting at the Aquino residence. (See video below, from 1:43 to 3:05)
[...] Cory decides to run after seeing on television Ver’s acquittal. The film cuts a small portion from the miniseries in which Cory delivers the most powerful line for me, “If they want to stop, they’re going to have to kill me!” (See video below [note: same as video above], from 4:24 to the end.)

I'm sorry bro, some part of the VHS tape where this DVD came from is damaged and besides, its a 3 hour long movie.
I found this VHS art in my favorites list, don't recall where I got this though. Probably it's the entire miniseries, but it may just be the trimmed version.
