A new addition to the collection comes from Film Platform, which offers a wide selection of multidisciplinary documentaries from around the world, all intended to foster critical thinking and engagement with topical issues. New titles are also added on a regular basis.  

Most of these videos are in English. If you’d like, you can view the transcription by clicking on Transcript in the top menu. Once it’s open, you can also choose to generate a translation into other available languages, such as Spanish, using the Translate drop-down menu on the right-hand side of the video.
