Amazon rescinds streaming of "The Plot Against the President" from Prime platform
In a recent development, the controversial documentary, The Plot Against the President, has been taken down from Amazon Prime's streaming service. The removal occurred within the last two months, leaving viewers who had not yet watched the film scrambling to find alternative ways to view it.
The documentary, based on the bestseller book by Lee Smith, offers an in-depth overview of the Russiagate alleged scandal. It alleges that Democrats and the mainstream media worked together to obstruct the peaceful transfer of power following the 2016 US elections.
Since its release on Amazon Prime in late 2020, the documentary has garnered around 17,000 user reviews, indicating a significant interest from viewers. Amanda Milius, the documentary's director, has expressed her belief that Amazon's removal was due to ideological disagreement with the film's content.
Milius further stated that Amazon was embarrassed by the documentary's success, urging her followers on Instagram to watch it on other platforms like Rumble, Apple TV, and fuboTV where it remains available for purchase or streaming.
It is not uncommon for content disputes, licensing issues, or political sensitivities related to a film's controversial nature to lead to its removal from streaming services. However, Amazon has not provided a detailed explanation for the removal of The Plot Against the President.
Despite its removal from Amazon Prime, the documentary continues to spark conversation and debate, with viewers and critics alike expressing their opinions on its content and the reasons behind its removal. As of now, the documentary remains accessible on alternative streaming services and platforms, offering viewers an opportunity to form their own opinions about the events portrayed in the film.
