    The RSA (Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce) works to remove the barriers to social progress. It drives ideas, innovation and social change through an ambitious programme of projects, events and lectures. These lectures, available as live webcasts, streamed video or audio, and podcasts, feature some of the world’s most influencial thinkers such as Steven Pinker, and cover a wide range of topics such as whether scientists get the media they deserve, the science of persuasion, secularism, and restructuring the global economy for a sustainable future. There is also a series of podcast interviews with Royal Designers. A particularly notable new addition is the ingenious RSA Animate series, which includes animated interpretations of essays from the likes of Philip Zimbardo, Jeremy Rifkin and Barbara Ehrenreich.

    Freedocumentaries.org strongly believes that in order to have a true democracy, there has to be a free flow of easily available information. Unfortunately, many important perspectives, opinions and facts do not make it to our televisions or cinemas, so the site was set up to allow anyone with an internet connection to watch a movie and educate themselves or simply explore another perspective whenever they want., free of charge. The site also enables the work of independent filmmakers to be accessible. Documentaries are arranged in the categories: 9/11 and London Bombing; Activist ; Animal Abuse; Election Fraud; Environmental ; Female-Focused; George Bush; Globalization; Health; Human Rights; Media; Politicians; Religious; Slavery; Societal; War Documentaries.
