WATCH: Michelle Obama’s documentary trailer

The former First Lady of the United States of America Michelle Obama‘s documentary trailer is out. According to Netflix, the doccie titled Becoming is an intimate look into her life during a moment of profound change, not only for her personally but for the country after she and her husband served over eight impactful years in the White House.

The film offers a rare and up-close look at her life, taking viewers behind the scenes as she embarks on a 34-city tour that highlights the power of community to bridge our divides and the spirit of connection that comes when we openly and honestly share our stories.

Michelle shared the trailer on social media sharing in part; “This movie tells my story, from my childhood on the South Side of Chicago to my life today—and it celebrates the stories of so many people I met along the way. My journey has taught me that if we stay open—if we share what’s important to us and listen carefully to what others share about their own lives—we find our strength, and we find our community. I am so grateful to everyone who has shared their story with me over the years.”

She added; “hey have inspired me, given me strength, and helped me find my way. I hope you enjoy the film and that it reminds you of the power and importance of your own story.”

Becoming will debut on 6 May 2020 on Netflix.
