Animal Documentaries Free On Line From Canada's National Film Board

Wednesday March 25, 2009
What a find! Documentaries on line and available for viewing free of charge, presented by Canada's National Film Board.

Popular choices include acclaimed filmmaker Bill Mason's amazing animal and wildlife documentaries. My recommendation: Cry Of The Wild, Mason's captivating study of free-roaming northern timber wolves and pure-white Arctic wolves. The filmmaker's wildlife cinematography is absolutely priceless--but you can enjoy it for free!

You'll also find hundreds of nonfiction features and shorts on other interesting subjects ranging from the environment, politics, history, artists and biography. The Website is entirely user friendly, even featuring themed playlists. Thank you, NFB of Canada!

Thank you so much! Wonderful. I’m letting all my students (some 350) watch English videos with these documentaries in South Korea.
