Can you purchase a film from Netflix that I can show in my course?
Answer
With few exceptions (13th & Roma), Netflix does not sell its feature films and documentaries outside of its platform. Due to demand to show their content in the classroom, there may be permission for educational screenings of documentaries that you can check. Read the following from Netflix:
Some Netflix original educational documentaries are available for one-time educational screenings.
To find out which titles are available for educational screenings, visit media.netflix.com and search for the title or browse our recent and upcoming releases.
Titles that are available for educational screening will display either the following Grant of Permission or an Educational Screenings Permission (ESP) on their details page.
If you look at the entry for the documentary The Social Dilemma, you can see what a the grant for educational screening appears like (it will outline explicit guidelines for use).
