Netflix places 10 free documentary films and docuseries on YouTube, Netflix puts 10Our world, babies and other docs are free to use in remote learning by teachers and parents, but they’re also available to anyone who wants to watch. Free docuseries, and YouTube documentaries
On Friday, Netflix launched 10 of its documentary films, shorts, and docuseries free on YouTube for anyone to watch globally, the firm said. The change is intended to provide more exposure to educational programming to families and teachers, but the titles could appeal to anyone who likes docs — including the Netflix BBC-style nature docuseries Our World, an Ava DuVernay Oscar-nominated film, and two titles that won Oscars for best short documentary.

The new coronavirus, which triggers the respiratory disease known as COVID-19, has rapidly spread into a pandemic around the world. Cities, states, and countries have shut down quarantines, schools, and entire industries, and health care systems fail to cope. And how we entertain ourselves has been upended: shuttering movie theaters, retaining film and television projects, and waiting months for big-budget films. That has resulted in a spike in streaming.
As the largest streaming service in the world, Netflix has been in high demand with more than 167 million subscribers. YouTube, too, has.
