You can watch The Girl Who Cried Pearls on a few different legal streaming platforms, including at least one free option.

Quick Scoop: Where to Watch

Here’s where it’s currently available online (availability can vary by country and over time):

  • NFB / NFB.ca (National Film Board of Canada) – Free streaming on the official NFB site and NFB Films app; this is the main legit place it’s being promoted as free to watch.
  • Crave / Crave channel add‑ons – Available to stream by subscription in some regions (notably Canada).
  • Prime Video (via channels or store in some regions) – Listed as available on certain guides; may appear as part of a channel bundle or as a digital purchase/rental depending on your country.
  • Apple TV (store) – Included in some recent streaming guides as a platform where you can buy or rent the short.
  • Plex and other aggregators – Some catalogs list the film, often redirecting you to the above services rather than hosting it entirely for free themselves.

If you’re outside Canada or another supported region, some guides note that there may be no direct streaming option yet on major services in specific countries (like the U.S.), so using NFB’s official site/app is often your best first try.

Tip: Start by searching “The Girl Who Cried Pearls NFB” in your browser and, if needed, try a VPN set to Canada to access the official free stream if it’s geo‑restricted in your location.
