On August 1, 2022, one of the world's largest video streaming platforms, Prime Video, decided to increase investment in Southeast Asian countries, namely Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines. With this progress, it is hoped that the film industry in Southeast Asia can be watched by all Prime Video customers in 240 other countries.

Now, here are some interesting facts about the development of Prime Video in Indonesia that you must know.
