- "There has never been a more exciting time for nonfiction -- we're seeing visionary new directors emerge and streaming has given documentary films wide new global audiences," said Bryn Mooser, co-founder of Documentary+ and CEO of XTR. "With Documentary+, not only are we building a home for some of the best documentary films of our time, but we're giving filmmakers another option for distribution as competition continues to increase. The COVID pandemic created this great digital acceleration and we are building Documentary+ to be a key cornerstone in the future of the industry."

The company did not comment on its long terms plans for Documentary+ so it is unclear if video commercials will be added later on or if there are any plans to switch to a paid subscription structure sometime in the future.
