@cbcnews @arts-entertainment-cbcnews Surprisingly, when I looked at the documentaries on Amazon Video, I do find that they have very few that I would call Politically relevant for today. Being generous I counted less than 10 that might be politically focused. The vast majority appear to be related to travel, history or entertainment.
