Free Documentaries: While the writers strike


In my unending quest to avoid TV, I've discovered a new diversion beyond clips and shows from ComedyCentral.com and AdultSwim.com -- a friend hipped me to FreeDocumentaries.org.

The site believes that documentaries can effect real world change, and hosts a bajillion excellent movies from the more famous (Born into Brothels, Supersize Me) to the obscure (We -- Arundhati Roy's Come September speech set to archival footage and electronic music).

The streaming video quality is pretty good, and scalable to your whole screen. Bored tonight? Give it a shot.
