We recently came across SnagFilms, a great website that hosts and streams hundreds of full-length documentaries for free. Covering everything from Super Size Me and Heavy Metal in Baghdad to obscure international films by unknown filmmakers, the site has plenty of content for anyone who enjoys sitting down and watching a good documentary.
The films all seem to play pretty smoothly and have a clean and intuitive organization. But what we liked best was the ease with which users can share videos. With just a few clicks, a small player with the desired film can be living on any of your favorite social networks or blogs. Additionally, each video is also provided with a button where they can link directly to a charity related to the topic of that film.
After cruising the site, we’re excited about making a little time to check out Off the Grid: Life On The Mesa (pictured), an interesting looking film about a loose-knit community of eco-pioneers, teenage runaways, war veterans and drop-outs who live on the fringe and off the grid…
