Update August 23 2018

Update June 21st
Hi Fellow Documentary Fans,So I’m continuing the categorizing of all the documentaries and it’s pretty slow going.So far I’ve got 240 documentaries out of 1200+ categorized. I had to redo this because I switched from SobiPro to K2 to run the website, and the categorization didn’t transfer. I also added some more categories like Near …

Update May 19 2016
Hello fans,Work continues on the new website software. I have checked about half of the 1200 documentaries on the site and had to delete less than 100 because they are no longer available online.

Update on Site September 18, 2015
Hello everyone,So I just finished a code check for all documentaries added to the site before June, 2015.

Done with site wide streaming check
Hello fans,I’m done with checking each documentary to make sure it is still actually up and streaming. I found 78 documentaries that were no longer working and have unpublished them. That means I still have the description and categories selected, and still have that data stored, so if the producers decide to put the documentary …
Still Checking All Documentaries are up and working
Hi Fans,Still working on checking the documentaries are up and running. Of the 886 documentaries listed on the site I’ve checked 329 and found 100 of those 300 aren’t working. That’s either because the uploader deleted them, or the hosting site, like YouTube, deleted them or the account of the uploader.Almost all are from YouTube. …
Update January 21, 2015
Hi fans!I’m going to try and keep this blog up to date with at least weekly messages. They are going to be really short, but I think they might be interesting. I’m going to try to install a counter to see if these short messages are actually something people are interested in and reading.It’s tough …

Sad News 2012-September-16
Hi Fans,So as you know I stay away from commenting on politics or the whole copyright vs. sharing debate. Except for the fact that I use open share software to create this site and I use “feature-ing” in my site. That means I have the regular list of documentaries that are in alphabetical and category …
This Week – Friday 16 March, 2012
