Hulu, an Internet streaming service, is showing the acclaimed BBC documentary “Polar Bear: Spy on the Ice,” which was filmed using a fleet of motorized, camouflaged cameras. Mogi said: “Hulu will cause profound changes in the way we watch programs and movies. For example, we can stop a program halfway at home and restart it on the train. Hulu is just like the Black Ships landing in Japan.”
