Pro-Trump Doc Gets Cold Shoulder From Amazon, Facebook - Hollywood Reporter

'The Plot Against the President' (inset: Amanda Milius).

With less than two weeks to go before the election, the distributor of a pro-Trump documentary claims the film is being muzzled by Amazon and Facebook.

Turn Key Films president and CEO Cory Tucek says he submitted Amanda Milius’ The Plot Against the President to Amazon on Oct.

He then submitted a second ad that featured thumbnail images of 10 movies available on Movies Plus, including Plot Against the President, and that, too, was nixed.

Milius says the film is available on a variety of platforms including Vimeo.

"If [Amazon] treated all political films equally it wouldn’t be an issue," she says.

Tucek says he has released hundreds of films onto Amazon's platform including … And Suddenly the Dawn, which was the official Chilean submission for the Oscars' best foreign-language film in 2018.

Turn Key also has distributed films via Amazon Prime in foreign territories including the Bradley Cooper starrer The Words.

“We've never had an issue with a title getting blocked on Amazon to date,” he says.

I don't think it is a coincidence either that Amazon would block a title that sheds a favorable light on Donald Trump.”.

Over the years, Tucek has only encountered a problem with Amazon if there was a technical issue with a file, which was flagged differently than a content issue.
