SnagFilms continues to find innovative ways to bringing documentary films to the public.  Working with Morgan Spurlock, SnagFilms created four “Super Size Me Selects”, short “bite-sized” excerpts from the Oscar®-nominated documentary that carry key lessons about eating-related health issues that Spurlock entertainingly conveys in the film.  Individual websites can now stream the lessons from Spurlock’s film from an embedded “virtual movie theater widget” on their pages on health, lifestyle and nutrition, without charge to the site or its visitors.
