We feel that the best documentaries are made by individuals not companies. That’s why we’ve created a home where the independent documentary filmmaker is always welcome.

We uniquely tap into the vast pool of documentaries that have been previously unviewed by the public. The Channel strives for the highest quality and seeks to air the personal works of the most talented documentary filmmakers.

We will show docs that are rare, edgy, personal, difficult in terms of subject matter, and "un-commercial".

We are international in scope. We air docs that have rarely or never been seen in this country. DOC strives to bind the world through its programming. With the help of The Advisory Council of the Documentary Channel and the Friends of DOC, The Documentary Channel creates a community of support for the vast array of content it offers.

Be sure to look for our DOC Online Store where you'll find a growing selection of the best docs available for purchase! Submit your films to us for inclusion in our store!
