As Dan Rather turns 95 this Saturday — just days before the 2026 midterm elections — the recent documentary “Rather,” about both the newsman’s life and the modern state of journalism, couldn’t be more timely. And now, it will be easier than ever to watch the 2023 Frank Marshall-directed film, which will now stream for free on YouTube.

Documentary producers Wavelength, Fremantle’s Original Productions and Anchor Entertainment are distributing “Rather” for free on YouTube starting today, timed to the recent Free Speech Week.
