# GuideDoc

> GuideDoc is a subscription streaming service for award-winning documentary films from around the world. Streaming titles are hand-picked by our editors: festival winners, official selections, and hard-to-find gems. One subscription streams on the web and on iOS, Android, Apple TV, Android TV, Fire TV, Roku, and Samsung and LG smart TVs. Consult the current plans page for device availability, prices and any introductory offer.

GuideDoc is a curated catalog, not an open upload platform. Films are selected by editors and organized by genre, topic, country, decade, and the festivals where they premiered. The collection spans social, political, nature, music, art, sports, history, science, and human-interest documentaries. Pricing is localized by country and adjusted for local purchasing power; current plans are on the plans page. Public pages are available in English, Catalan and Spanish where their translations have been published. The Documentary Database also contains public reference records for films that cannot be streamed; a reference record does not imply ownership or streaming availability.

Canonical documentary pages follow the URL pattern `https://guidedoc.tv/documentary/<slug>-documentary-film/`.
