Search Strategy for Finding Interviews and Documentaries on the Internet

Choose a Search Engine; note that there are alternatives to Google

Use the name of the NGO as a search term, then limit results to YouTube or Video

Even if an organization does not have a dedicated channel or playlist, you can still identify relevant content by using the name of the organization as a search term; for example: GLOBAL ALLIANCE OF VACCINES does not have a dedicated video site, but as a search term it brings up related video
