There are several websites and forums which provide free videos including YouTube, Reddit and Daily Motion. You can search the title of the video and “[free]” or " download" in the search bar to narrow down your results. Additionally you can use web searches like Google, Bing, etc., along with queries such as “[name of video] torrent” or ‘“[name of video] download”, or even by manually visiting peer-to-peer sharing websites such as The Pirate Bay. Furthermore if you are a student, you could also look for specialized academic databases where this video may already be freely available through your library membership or college/university accounts.
