One of the first decisions made around the globe to limit the spread of COVID-19 was to close schools at all levels. That required a massive transfer of activities to the web (with successes and failures alike), but several companies went along with that trend by releasing content for free. One of those companies is Netflix, which just published a total of 34 free documentaries on its YouTube channel, all in high definition and with Spanish subtitles.
Any idea of a short-term change seems to have been discarded. COVID-19 has become part of our lives, modifying the way we work, study, and interact with others. Many regions are still in quarantine, others are trying to resume their activity one step at a time, and millions of students have turned to the web to complete their school cycles.
Unfortunately, that is not a perfect strategy, since the lack of connectivity and basic infrastructure is felt in many homes. However, at least we can say that the release of content is a step in the right direction, and Netflix is one of the companies that decided to take that step. How? By publishing more than thirty documentaries on its YouTube channel, free.
The available series
First, we have the series "Our Planet" with a total of eight episodes (Jungles, Coastal Seas, From Deserts to Grasslands, High Seas, Fresh Water, Forests, Planet Diversity, and Frozen Worlds). Then we find the series "Explained", which follows the format of mini documentaries with a duration of 15-20 minutes each. "Abstract" is ideal for design lovers, and includes material ranging from footwear to architecture and automobiles, and "Babies" teaches us a lot about the youngest members of the household, their first steps, their first words, their sleep habits, and more.
https://old.neoteo.com/visita-famosos-museos-en-plena-cuarentena-con-virtual-museums/Netflix indicates that the publication of this content responds to requests from teachers and professors to continue their online classes. It's worth remembering that for years, Netflix has allowed the reproduction of its documentaries in classes for free, but their availability through YouTube makes things much easier. The best part? The documentaries include Spanish subtitles. Don't think twice: even if you're not an education professional, these videos are definitely worth it.
