Filmmaker cites ‘Trump effect’ as Amazon lifts ban on film exposing ‘War on Children’ 

President Donald Trump’s return to the White House has sparked a cultural effect that includes Amazon “unbanning” a film about the radical left’s attempt to control the minds of America’s youngest generation. 

That’s the view of conservative activist Robby Starbuck, whose documentary titled The War on Children is now offered on Amazon’s Prime Video platform. 

“One year ago today, every Big Tech co-banned ‘The War On Children,’” Starbuck posted to X on Monday. “Amazon banned it because the left feared it. Today, exactly 1 year since the release, @PrimeVideo just unbanned our film.” 

In an interview published Monday by Fox News Digital, Starbuck said The War on Children has been banned from several platforms. 

“There is a group of people in this country that are very hard to reach,” he said. “They don’t really watch a lot of political content. Guess what? They watch Amazon Prime.” 

The filmmaker said he was unable to determine the specific reasons why Amazon initially banned his film, except the streaming giant said it contained “offensive content.”  

However, Starbuck believes his documentary was banned to keep people from being alerted to the left’s dangerous agenda. 

“It was banned solely on the basis that it upset the far-left activists that wanted to perpetuate the idea that it’s normal to give sex changes to kids,” Starbuck told Fox News Digital. ”That’s not the whole movie, but we cover it in the movie, and we talked to victims of it who got a double mastectomy at 13 and got put on hormones at 12, and to a mom whose daughter committed suicide in the care of the state of California.”  

The filmmaker noted The War on Children was eventually seen on X with the help of platform-owner Elon Musk.  

With Trump’s return to the White House, however, Starbuck sees a remarkable turnaround. 

America, he said, is “done with wokeness. People are turning against it. People in Big Tech who secretly hated the woke stuff, they felt like, ‘OK, we have permission now to turn against it.’” 

Starbuck is widely known for spearheading a social media campaign to end diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies in corporate America. He’s challenged numerous corporate giants, including Walmart, Lowe’s, Ford, Stanley Black & Decker, Tractor Supply and McDonald’s, to end their woke policies. 

Ultimately, Starbuck said he sees Amazon’s change of heart as a “huge opportunity to wake people who don’t engage in a lot of political content.” 

The War on Children exposes the “grooming” and gender transition agenda that has rapidly infected American culture in recent years. The documentary includes interviews with Chaya Raichik, creator of Libs of TikTok; Sen. Rand Paul, R-Kentucky; and NCAA swimmer and women’s sports activist Riley Gaines. 

Whistleblowers, de-transitioners, trafficking victims, corporate executives, a drag performer, Pornhub’s Sex Ed instructor and numerous images of drag queens in sexualized poses with children are featured in the film as well. 

The film’s website describes The War on Children as a “groundbreaking documentary” that reveals “the ongoing battle for control of the next generation and their minds.” 

Starbuck also used the announcement of his film’s unbanning to ask his followers to help push the documentary into Amazon’s top movie recommendations. 

“If we can get it into the top films there, think of how many normal people will be woken up to the War that the left has waged on our kids,” he wrote. 

“Getting into the top movie recommendations would also have the added bonus of driving the left insane. They’re already going to lose it that Amazon is carrying the film. We can help wake normal people up. Let’s do it.”
