List of Netflix Documentary Movies and Series for Free on YouTube

Netflix has opened a selection of educational documentary movies and series — accessible currently for free on YouTube — saying it’s a method to help teachers during the COVID-19 quarantine.

The 10 titles incorporate Ava DuVernay’s “13th,” covering the mass-incarceration of people of color in the U.S.; nature docuseries “Our Planet,” described by Sir David Attenborough; and select episodes of “Babies.”

Netflix says it has previously permitted teachers to screen documentaries on the streaming service in their classrooms. However, with numerous schools shut down, the organization has opened up the 10 titles for free in the wake of accepting requests from teachers. Also, they’re currently accessible on Netflix’s YouTube channel.

“We hope this will, in a small way, help teachers around the world,” the organization said in a blog entry.

Netflix likewise is making accessible educational resources with each title, including study guides and Q&As with some of the makers behind the documentary projects.

Then, the documentaries are accessible just in English. Netflix said it will include captions over a dozen languages later this week.
