This list was taken directly from the Films for Action website on 2 May 2016. According to the website, these social change documentaries were selected for the following reasons:
'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 - 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!'
