As art houses and independent cinemas close around the country, film distributors are forced to find new ways to release the documentaries that they show on the festival circuit every year. With the explosive popularity of video streaming services across every content category, it was only a matter of time before documentary streaming services carved out their own niche, too.
Major streaming services, such as Hulu, Netflix, and Prime Video, include documentaries in their vast libraries, but other on-demand services that focus exclusively or (at least largely) on documentaries have popped up to meet the diverse needs of documentary fans. Whether you are after pure entertainment or want to learn something new, there’s a documentary service to satisfy your curiosity and shine a light on the interesting parts of life.
