What is The Green Channel?
The Green Channel is streaming service showcasing compelling, investigative and thought-provoking environmental films. We’re a subscription-based service and are completely ad-free, so you can focus on the good bits without any distractions. Learn more
about us.
What makes The Green Channel unique?
We believe the first step to solving an environmental problem is knowing about it. The filmmakers we support by licensing their films bring important stories to the public. Our subscribers support these independent stories that often compel decision makers and leaders to try and do better for the environment. We offer carefully hand-picked content that's hard to find anywhere else online. Also, from our inception The Green Channel has produced original content that is exclusive to our service. Look for films like The Pristine Coast, The Unofficial Trial of Alexandra Morton and series like The Firekeepers and Pressure Point.
How do you fund environmental filmmaking?
Simply by buying environmental films, we support the filmmakers that create them. As our subscriber base grows, so will our license fees. Our subscribers can also contact us directly on how to donate to a specific filmmaker or film you like on The Green Channel. Any amount, any time and we will pass the donation on to your favourite filmmaker.
How do I help a film or filmmaker I like?
When you
sign up, put the name of the film you like in the
How did you hear about us? box. We’ll give that filmmaker a bonus on their fees.
What else do you do with the subscription fees?
We remaster old films that might otherwise be lost in the digital age. We also have a unique folder called “Public Interest”. In this folder you will find raw or lightly edited content about the environment that has not been made into a finished film. We feel that this content is important for research and educational purposes and want to make it available to the public.
What kind of content do you feature?
The Green Channel looks for compelling films that give a voice to a any one of the world’s species or an environmental issue. You will find films about climate change to endangered species to ones about salmon fisheries to food sustainability and more. Many of our films are investigative in style and we hope revealing and informative. We are expanding into the eco comedy genre.
Look for How to Boil A Frog, Save the Planet Already!, The Laps Tasmania, and more.
We’re also proud of our selection of remastered older films and of our hundreds of hours of raw, unedited footage documenting environmental events of public interest. Exhibit 2148 is the only copy of the Canadian Inquiry on The Decline of the Fraser River Sockeye.
How often do you add new films?
We add at least two film per week, especially on Wednesdays!
