Free Documentaries Online

Today on Wise Bread, I learned about the streaming movie site FreeDocumentaries.org. I am thinking about pulling the plug on our teensy Netflix plan -- we've had the same movie sitting around for 2 weeks so really even though it is only $5 a month we are overpaying. I'm adding this site to my list of free and cheap sources of movies and TV shows (Hulu.com, RedBox with free movie codes, Amazon downloads) to fill the gap.

I don't see really new hits like Food Inc. on here, but there are several that look of interest to us frugalites:

Supermarket Secrets (an expose of the British mainstream food system, sounds kind of similar to Food Inc.)

Money as Debt: International Bankers Own the World and This Is How

There does seem to be a surfeit of depressing stuff on this site, but I guess that's just the way of the documentary. Sorry, I'm sure I would be a better person if I did, but I don't think I can stomach Auschwitz Parts I through VI at this point in my life.

Thanks to my fellow Wise Bread blogger Paul Michael for his FreeDocumentaries.org post!
