How can I find free streaming films if the library doesn't have them?
Answer
Where to search for free films outside the Library
- Google (limit to videos)
- YouTube
- Vimeo
- Internet Archive
- Tubi
- Pluto
- Top Documentary
- Open Culture
- The Documentary Network
- Films for Action
- Documentary Storm
- Spread the Word
- Search for an independent film's website, they may offer it there.
Additionally, search JustWatch to see what paid subscription platforms (Netflix, Hulu, Max, etc.) offer the film.
Important
Be sure to check if the film has been legitimately uploaded (ie: by the producer or director) or is covered by a Creative Commons license to avoid supporting a cite the violates copyright.
