5. Search Films on Demand and then click 'Embed' and then we recommend 'Embedded Medium'.

Note: Films on Demand has thousands of videos from many producers, including HBO. It might be better to start you search at the main database on the main university A-Z Database. Click on Films on Demand and search all their offerings by producer, title, author, etc. Then you would have a better idea what you'd like to place in your course prior to adding content to Canvas area.
