Amazon Censors Pro-Life Documentary
Marcus Pittman was excited about his new documentary, “Babies Are Still Murdered Here,” which was released in October 2019. As director and producer, he put in a lot of work to ensure the film’s message, aesthetics, audio, and more were just right. Pittman was even more thrilled when it was added to Amazon’s Prime Video in December 2019, making it easier for people to watch.
According to Pittman, the sequel to “Babies are Murdered Here” addresses the gap between pro-life intervention and activism on the local level. The film’s description says the documentary investigated “deep underpinnings of major national lobbyist groups to find out why after 46 years Babies Are Still Murdered Here.” The film aims “to open eyes and hearts to the truth.” . . .
Thanks to everyone that is sending @kanyewest my pro-life movie on Amazon. I doubt he will ever watch it. But I believe in miracles.

A live showing on Facebook reached a quarter of a million views in the first week, but Pittman and his team soon hit a bump in the road. In July 2020, Pittman began receiving messages from fans of the documentary who had tried to share it with new pro-life advocate Kanye West. They said it was no longer available on Amazon Prime. . .
The message claims the film was removed because “this title does not meet our customer content quality expectations” and because they received “customer feedback.” Pittman, however, said he never signed a content agreement with Amazon. . .
He also said that, despite Amazon’s claims of negative customer feedback, the film has received an overwhelming number of good reviews on Amazon and other platforms. As of August, 89 percent of the film’s 344 customer reviews — far more ratings than most of Amazon’s featured documentaries received — were five stars.
