Other Sites Where You Can Watch Documentaries
(*A few of these sites feature films we wouldn't include on this site, which we would categorize as misinformation. The site's owners either agree with the films or present them in the interest of promoting all conflicting viewpoints. With that caveat in mind, they are useful resources nonetheless. They just require a bit more sifting.)
