Unfortunately, I don't think any downloadable/streaming video has closed captioning.
Amazon has been taking their time and ignoring customers as well as potential customers for years regarding their dismal response and performance in providing closed captioning. However, at this point Amazon is going to be forced to comply (or face legal consequences as well as an avalanche of bad publicity). The Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act requires that everyone is able to take advantage of the new technology that our economy demands.
Closed captioning is not an option! Not only has the behavior of Amazon toward a sizable percentage of the population been neglectful, dismissive, and arrogant, their greed is very shortsighted. First of all, Amazon can certainly afford to supply closed captioning if they chose to do so especially since their other competitors are providing closed captioning.
Secondly, their greed will ultimately cost them a lot of money. Estimates on the number of people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or whose hearing is below normal vary. However, the number of people who could benefit from closed captioning in the United States is probably somewhere around 42 million people (out of a total US population of 305 million people) according to the most reliable research conducted at Gallaudet University.
Amazon needs to recognize that this is a civil rights issue and their attitude and corporate greed is going to cost them a lot more money in terms of horrible publicity and litigation than the money it costs to provide equal access for everyone.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
