Snagfilms
Snagfilms has a database of over 900 full-length documentaries divided into many categories, including: Indieflix, National Geographic, PBS, Peter Jennings Reporting, and Sundance.
When I first went to Snagfilms they were featuring baseball-related documentaries including one about Bill Lee, formerly of the Red Sox and Expos. The 2006 film follows the 58-year-old barnstorming pitcher to Cuba, where his USA team enjoys several games with the native Cubans. It would probably get an "R" rating for language. Another warning, Bill Lee used drugs in the pre-steroid era.

They even have a film about Fond du Lac's own Jeanna Giese, "The Girl Who Survived Rabies." (Unfortunately, an error prevented me from watching this film, hope you'll have better luck.)

I couldn't get the Jeanna Giese video to work either, but I did find on YouTube her own short video from Sept. 12 (the 5th anniversary of the day she was bit). It's pretty impressive. SHE'S pretty impressive. This site wouldn't let me copy and paste, but the title is "JAG ~ 5th Year Anniversary." Thanks for the information about the other documentary sites. I'd forgotten about Snagfish.
