The Top 100 Documentaries We Can Use To Change The World

A more beautiful, just and sustainable world is possible. Take this library and use it to inspire global change!

Originally featured on Films For Action

Documentaries have an incredible power to raise awareness and create transformative changes in consciousness both at the personal and global levels.

Over the last 8 years, we’ve watched hundreds of social change documentaries and cataloged the best of them on the site. There’s now so many that we realized we needed to filter this down even further. So what follows is our list of the very best 100 – hand-picked for their quality, insight and potential to inspire positive change.

All of the films have been selected because they are either free to watch online, or can be rented online. There are several films we would have loved to add to this list, but they currently don’t have an accessible way to view them. As that changes, we’ll be updating this list over time. Enjoy!

The Sand Pebbles...about US Imperialism and Gunboat Diplomacy during the Boxer Rebellion. All-star cast: Steve McQueen, Candace Bergen, Richard Crenna, Richard Attenborough, etc. Predates MASH by a few years, but in a similar vein.

Book is even better, btw.
