GRANT OF PERMISSION FOR EDUCATIONAL SCREENINGS - taken from Netflix's website
Netflix is proud to present original documentaries that speak to our users in a meaningful way. We know that many of you are as excited about these titles as we are; and because of their informational aspects, you’d like to show them in an educational setting -- e.g., in the classroom, at the next meeting of your community group, with your book club, etc.
Consequently, we will permit one-time educational screenings - "one-time screening" means that you can't hold screenings several times in one day or one week, but if, for example, you're an educator who wants to show the titles once a semester over multiple semesters, that's okay.
Educational screenings are permitted for any of the documentaries noted with this information, on the following terms:
The following titles are currently available for a one-time educational screening. Title availability is subject to change per Netflix. You must have a personal Netflix account in order to show these titles. Always double check the details page for each title, before showing in the classroom, to ensure that the Grant of Permission is still applicable.
