Video streaming company, Netflix, has commenced free streaming of some of its "original" videos like 13th, Abstract, Babies, Chasing Coral, Explained and Knock Down the House on youtube.

While making this announcement, the company stated that Several of its nature documentaries, including the most acclaimed Our Planet and Babies, are streaming for free on the Netflix YouTube page.

According to the press release, the following videos will be available for free.13th, Abstract, Babies, Chasing Coral, Explained, Knock Down the House, Our Planet, Period. End of a Sentence, The White Helmets, and Zion. A couple of the documentaries focus on nature; others centre on social issues, including poverty, racism, and systemic injustices.

Netflix gives the right to teachers to access and stream its documentaries in classrooms for various teachings, but since schools are closed right now, the company is bringing those documentaries to YouTube. This way, teachers can assign documentaries for students to watch without worrying about whether students have access to Netflix.

In addition, the education materials for each documentary can be found on Netflix’s blog. Although the documentaries are only available in English right now, Netflix’s blog states that subtitles “in more than a dozen languages will be available later this week.”

“Each title also has educational resources available, which can be used by both students and teachers and we’ll be doing Q&As with some of the creators behind these projects so that students can hear from them firsthand.” - Netflix
