Over the last 46 years, Bullfrog Films has become the leading U.S. publisher of independently produced documentaries on environmental and related social justice issues that point the way to living healthily, happily, and with greater concern for the other inhabitants of this planet, and for our descendants. We define “environment” broadly and our collection includes programs on ecology, energy, agriculture, indigenous peoples, women’s studies, genetics, marine biology, sustainable development, community regeneration, economics, ethics, and conflict resolution. In recent years we have released many films about developing countries, globalization, changing gender roles, and human rights. Styles range from animation to drama and from personal essay to investigative documentary. There are programs suitable for all ages from pre-kindergarten through adult. Producers with distribute include the National Film Board of Canada, CBC, Television Trust for the Environment, BBC-TV, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Rhombus Media, and leading independent filmmakers and producers from around the world. Founded by Bullfrog Films and Icarus Films, the academic streaming platform streams essential independent, social-issue and environmental films to colleges and universities, providing exclusive access to content from renowned leaders in documentary film distribution. Participating distributors include Bullfrog Films, dGenerate Films, Icarus Films/The Fanlight Collection, First Run Features, Kartemquin Films, KimStim Films, MediaStorm, National Film Board of Canada, Scorpion TV, and Terra Nova Films. Our Bullfrog Communities initiative allows campus and community groups to book in-person or virtual community screenings of select documentary films from the Bullfrog Films catalog. Bullfrog Communities
provides a simple way for concerned citizens to stay informed about pressing environmental and social justice
issues, and to educate and energize their local communities using the unique power of film.
