You can do this kind of search in DocuSeek, a search site for independent educational and documentary videos (www.docuseek.com). You can also search the reviews in EMRO -- Education Media Reviews Online (http://emro.lib.buffalo.edu/emro/).

In my current position I have little video responsibilities--unless it comes to problem solving. I am looking for medical documentary films--films that would be of interest to medical professionals that are about medicine or scientific topics. For example=Supersize Me or King Corn would be a more popular examples, Unnatural Causes a more academic one. So--is there any place you would recommend searching and/or search strategies? We are pretty much open to any suggestions at this point. I have played around with Worldcat, and of course Netflix, but I think my problem is that it is sort of hard to quantify what makes a documentary interesting to this audience..... Thanks in advance for help!
