About this collection

Health documentaries explore the body and how we care for it, from the operating room to the frontiers of longevity research. This collection gathers 605 free health and medicine documentaries.

Explore the brain and mental health, nutrition and metabolic science, genetics and DNA, epidemics and the immune system, surgery and front-line hospital medicine, ageing and the science of living longer. You will find patient stories told with care, films on the history of medicine, and reporting on the research reshaping how we understand our own biology.

Because accuracy matters most where viewers may act on what they watch, this is a collection built around films with real clinical grounding, for anyone curious about how the body works and how medicine is changing.
