Constantly updating

Great unique documentary’s highlighting aspects of life im unfamiliar with and some I’m all too familiar with great range of topics and subjects as time passes this subscription only becomes more and more worthwhile

You need to get this app

A refreshing take on content and information, to say the least. To say more, this platform definitely gets you out of the current media hellscape - which is something we’re all craving these days and why you’re here deciding if you want to pay a little under 6 bucks to try it. You’re here wondering if it’s as good as it sounds.

I guess I’m here to tell you it is. Seriously, do it. Stop jerking off the monopoly men and pay C5 a couple bucks to watch some sick films that transparently pays the filmmakers directly based on their film’s views.

Buggy

Casting barely works. Good content tho

Finally, a reasonable streaming service

I signed up day one and have found myself waiting for the new reales more than other content. Knowing the crowd is funding this is quite amazing. Kudos to Andrew and his team for being renegades in the industry. <3

Support independent reporting and documentation

It’s a small price to pay for the great films that are on the platform and the value will continue to rise as more films are added
