“The War on Children” would never be made by Hollywood.
The film skewers the hard-Left agenda and efforts to sexualize young children.
Now, the filmmaker behind the documentary says Amazon customers won’t let users see his film.
Director Robby Starbuck’s documentary debuted on X earlier this year. The narrative focuses on the indoctrination of children in our public school system and beyond. The film features Chaya Raichik, better known as Libs of TikTok along with Sen. Rand Paul and women’s rights advocate Riley Gaines.
Starbuck shared startling news about “Children” on social media this week. He showed a screen cap indicating Amazon won’t allow him to watch his own film on the platform. Worse? Anyone who wants to buy or rent the film at Amazon can’t.
This reporter tried several times to find “The War on Children” on the service without luck.
That’s because, after a months-long process to gain access to the platform, Amazon deemed
“Children” due to “offensive content,” according to Starbuck.
Our documentary ‘The War On Children’ is the most watched documentary of the year with more than 50 million views but @amazon just BANNED it from @PrimeVideo due to “offensive content.”

Starbuck told Hollywood in Toto his team had been in talks with Amazon since March to allow the film on the platform. Now, the matter appears to be closed. And it’s hardly the first time a right-leaning project got silenced by Amazon.
The company previously approved, and later removed without warning or explanation “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words.” The powerful documentary lets the Supreme Court Justice tell his life story sans filter.
That’s it. Nothing outrageous, offensive or inappropriate. Yet Amazon yanked the film from its lineup.
The company also tried to censor “What Killed Michael Brown?” Director Eli Steele’s 20210 documentary showed another side to the Brown saga, shattering progressive narratives on the subject.
Amazon initially said the film didn’t meet its quality standards. That’s dubious given the film’s polished presentation and reputable arguments. Media pressure coaxed Team Amazon to allow the film on its platform.
To Amazon’s credit, the company resisted a sizable push to remove Abigail Shrier’s book “Irreversible Damage,” a blistering expose on the trans movement’s push to surgically change young people’s sex, from its cyber shelves.
