Hi Allen, My best advice on Netflix exclusive documentary content is to determine the production company involved and contact them about the availability of a DVD copy. For instance, multiple faculty wanted us to acquire Jehane Noujaim's *The Square* and--after several tries--I was finally able to convince Noujaim Films to sell us an educational edition.
Good luck!

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
