SnagFilms Serves Documentaries to the Masses

I was contacted by someone at SnagFilms - a new site that is choc-full-o-documentaries.  Specifically, they have an environmental category.  This is great for all of you folks out there that are so earthy that you don’t have a TV or cable, yet you love the interwebs.  Of course, there are tons of other documentaries on here, too - so you’re not limited to just enviro-films (like the Townes Van Zandt doc I’ve been wanting to see!).

Some recommendations:

• Super Size Me  (Morgan Spurlock eats only McDonald’s for 30 days)
• Hudson Riverkeepers (Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s organization - 1998 doc)
• The Future of Food (The late great Jerry Garcia’s wife tackles the subject of the future of food)
• Fighting Goliath: The Texas Coal Wars (the story of Texans fighting against the construction of 18 coal-fired power plants)

Here are some stats on SnagFilms that I received in the email:

- Full length, award-winning films on your site completely free
- 250 or so feature-length, professionally produced documentaries, from small independent filmmakers and well-known sources
- SnagFilms widget can be easily embedded on your site and numerous social networking services and platforms.
- Many titles supports causes related to the film and encourage viewers to take action.
- SnagFilms movie player does not require a desktop download like other movie players but instead efficiently streams the films
