documentary-log.com asked nicely, and it’s a freeservice with no registration – so here’s a plug for a website with over 700 docos to downloadand view.
The Canadian-based venture’s heavy on the science and technology end of docos, which is whypresumably a Lydia Bloomfield got hold of me to see if sticK would like to give them a mention.
Think anthropology, biology/environment, cosmology/physics, psychology as well as what’slabelled science & technology, and you’ll get a feel for what’s available.
But there’s also politics, conspiracy/ mystery and biography (among many) to round out thesofter end of the spectrum.
As you do, I put ‘new zealand’ in the search bar, and it came up with two: ‘The making ofCaptain Cook’ (see
here
)and ‘A cow at my table’ (see
There’s a star rating system too so that viewers can comment favourably….or otherwise.
Bloomfield says the site’s free because of ad-sponsorship, with Google’s adsense delivering asidebar of topics/sites it reckons you might be interested in.
Many of the documentaries appear to be about an hour long, and the site suggests downloading themto a computer first, before then viewing at your leisure.
sticK didn’t know about the site till Bloomfield suggested a plug – and you’d have tosuspect that YouTube wouldn’t come up with the same density of high quality material as thisspecialist provider.
It’s nice to know someone’s taking the trouble to assemble these docos……the least sticKcan do is point out its presence.
