Free documentary videos online

We all know that video can present information in a captivating way to our students. The combination of visual and audio stimulation can "hook" them in to the subject matter.

While researching resources for faculty (really, I was NOT looking at the latest LOLcats cartoon!), I came across a website with free documentaries.

Here are a few I can recommend (because I saw them in the movie theater or rented them):

• Control Room: Propaganda of the Iraq War


• PBS Frontline: Merchants of Cool
