In the spirit of “cord cutting,” we’re looking for new ways to entertain ourselves without paying outrageous cable bills. For those of you who claim to need cable for educational TV, we have your solution… freedocumentaries.org.Freedocumentaries.org is an easy-to-use site, collecting well-known documentaries like “Sicko” and “The 11th Hour,” as well as more obscure and hard-to-find films from all over the world. Best part is, all the films are free and it’s actually legal.
You can stream the videos instantly to your computer, no commercials or sign ups required. The site is currently applying for non-profit status, with a mission to “educate and entertain as many people as possible in the hopes of fostering a healthy democracy.” Fueled mostly by volunteers, the site depends on donations to cover overhead and keep improving the site.
Cut your expensive cable bill and you’ll have plenty left over to help in the cause. You’ll even have plenty left over to host move night and learn something in the process. With over two-hundred titles listed, and more constantly being added, freedocumentaries.org is one to join Hulu and Netflix on your favorites tab.
