3 Best Documentaries of 2023: Now Streaming on Docuseek
Essential documentary films for higher education
3 Films on Docuseek Voted Best of 2023
Video Librarian has published the Best Documentaries of 2023 and three are available for streaming exclusively on Docuseek! Citing that "these titles showcase the diversity and artistic ingenuity present in this year's documentary offerings," and "these top-tier documentaries of 2023 not only educate but also foster empathy, understanding, and a deeper connection to the world we inhabit.

Time of Pandemics (Icarus Films) "is a fantastic documentary from start to finish. Rehad Desai’s documentary style and effortless ability to connect past and present make this film as informative as it is interesting to watch."

Up on the Mountain (Collective Eye Films) "is an understated, yet beautiful tale that educates viewers about mushrooms and the harsh realities of the politics surrounding the harvesting, in a subtle manner that doesn’t hit you over the head." 

Searching For Gerda Taro (Icarus Films) "includes a solid hour of expert analysis and discussion about the woman behind the photos. This touching documentary addresses her more brutal works of war photography. Highly Recommended. Editor’s Choice."

Licensing options are one-year, three-year and Life of File for individual titles, and The Docuseek Complete Collection 3rd Edition. Contact us at sales@docuseek2.com for quotes, more information or questions.
