Perhaps contacting your Congressional representative and senator if you are in 
the United States, could help.  After all, they are on break, again ...
Maybe they could do something useful.

Subject: Re: Hearing Descriptive Tracks in Amazon Prime App

Hello Lisa,

I do not think you are doing anything wrong.  Unfortunately, Amazon states that 
if a movie has audio description available, because of licensing issues, the 
track will not be available in the free version that comes with a prime 
membership, but will be available in the version that you rent.
Now this only applies to movies.  All of their original series do come with 
audio description.

Personally I do not agree with this, and think this is not right.  A sighted 
person is able to watch the movie with their prime membership, but we only get 
audio description if we pay.  I do not know if this is Amazon doing this, or 
the movie companies.

I use the ACB Link app to look through all the audio description titles 
available through all the different sources.

Hope this has been helpful.

Chris
