In this round-up, you'll find the links to watch 19 documentaries we wanted to highlight this summer.
Eight of them were previously available via pay-per-view and are now free. Some are buried gems that deserve more exposure. All of them are excellent, free to watch, and worth sharing with friends.
Cheers!
