Amazon Prime Video is available to millions of viewers across the globe. Amazon knows the preferences of their customers and have the ability to recommend your film/TV series to its viewers who they know will be interested. That means your documentary/film/series has the potential to be viewed (and paid for!) by a huge audience.
