Snag Films: Documentaries To-Go

Hello everyone.  A while ago I posted about a site where you could find documentaries online (freedocumentaries.org).  Today I wanted to share with you another one I have come across: Snag Films.  This site also hosts a bunch of documentaries that you can search through and play online.

In the words of the site creators themselves,
"SnagFilms.com is a website where you can watch full-length documentary films for free, but we’re also a platform that lets you “snag” a film and put it anywhere on the web. With a library of over 1500 films, and rapidly growing, you’re bound to find films that resonate with your interests. We make it easy for you to find a film that shines a light on a cause you care about. You can then open a virtual movie theater on any web site, so any one can watch your favorite SnagFilms for free."

I think documentaries are a great way to spark discussion in the classroom and raise awareness of topics that may or may not be covered in the typical "nightly newscasts".  Plus, you are able to embed previews of the movies from the site on your blog or website (but you must be on the actual site to watch it in it's entirety).  You can also save your spot to come back to later (without an account!) if you run out of time watching the movie...most of them are an hour at least so you will need to do this!

Here's one I found:
