With many people cancelling their streaming services, we want to point out that many of the films in our library stream for free!
They may be on free platforms like Kanopy, or the filmmakers may put them on YouTube or Vimeo. Some filmmakers also offer special free educational licenses or even packages.
The educational game in our collection called "Walden, a game", also offers a free version to educators.
How to find our free films
1. Check out the films in our resource library.
2. Look for viewing details in the "Where to Watch" section of a film's page.
3. If that takes you to a link on JustWatch.com, make sure to adjust the site to your own country settings for local results.
If you have questions about our films and film guides, please ask! We're here to help and we love connecting people with great films and teaching tools. 1/2
