The movie is available on DVD; new from Amazon for $18, used for
$15.  Or used on VHS for $1.  Here's the IMDb link:

And here's an article about the historical person on whom it's based:

Given Mary Baker's background, it seems unlikely that she would have
much linguistic knowledge, but I haven't yet found any information on
the language she created.  And while I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, I
haven't seen it since it was in theatres; 10 years on, I don't remember
any examples of the language.
