About

Kanopy offers access to over 20,000 documentaries, movies, and educational videos from thousands of producers such as Media Education Foundation, PBS, Great Courses, Kino Lorber and more.

From the Kanopy website:

Founded in 2008, Kanopy was established to provide academic institutions with essential films that foster learning and conversation. ... With an ideal platform for showcasing independent films that fuels lifelong learning, we are on a mission to ensure that everyone has access to enriching films that bridge cultural boundaries, spark discussion, and expand worldviews.

The video collection is available to stream anytime and anywhere — from desktop to TV to tablet. Videos can be browsed from the main website including the collections JCU is subscribing to, and they can also searched in JCU Discovery.
