Great free documentaries to watch online on web

SA,

While surfing YouTube, I ran into a very nice documentary called "How earth was made", Till that moment I didn't know that free full length professional grade documentaries (like what you watch on National Geographic or Discovery Channel) exists and web with no commercials, annoying browser window pop-ups or interruptions, and many of them are even provided in HD!

Video sharing sites include general purpose video sharing sites like YouTube, DailyMotion and Vimeo to professional documentary channels like FRONTLINE 

What is great also that there are tools and browser extensions that can save the streaming videos to your computer for you to watch later or if you don't have enough bandwidth to watch it without pauses (for buffering), specially if you watch these videos in HD

Since I like documentaries, I thought of creating a collection of nice documentaries I found, and keep updating it periodically every time I ran into a good one, I've categorized them by documentary genre

Science

1. How Earth was made (HD : 1080p)
2. HOME : BBC (HD : 720p)

Political

1. End of America (by Naomi Wolf)

History

TBD

Art

TBD

Please feel free to post good and professional grade documentaries in the comments area below, I'll review them and update this post with them whenever appropriate

Till the next post, Leave you in peace
