Links to free documentaries online?

I’ve watched quite a few documentaries on hulu, archive.org, and youtube. Does anyone have any recommendations for some good (free) online documentaries?

You could browse around archive.org and see what you find.

I’ve been watching a lot on hulu too. What have you watched?

(Obligatory disclosure, I work for one of the distributors that has free films on hulu.)

The OP mentioned archive.org.

So you want free documentaries? How about FreeDocumentaries.org. Can’t get much more straightforward than that! Lots of good stuff here.

There’s also SnagFilms, which has easy categories for you to browse. (Actually I think FreeDocus has that too.)

Here’s an interesting documentary on Project Orion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18L4E4myDAs

That Youtube user has also posted some other documentaries: http://www.youtube.com/user/Zuke696
