First Lady Melania Trump has released a documentary, “Melania,” detailing the 20 days leading up to her husband Donald Trump’s return to the White House. The film, produced by AmazonMGM Studios at a reported cost of $40 million, provides an intimate look at her life juggling official duties, family responsibilities, and personal advocacy.
Premiering at the Kennedy Center, the documentary captures her planning of state functions, involvement in child welfare initiatives, and coordination of the family’s move to the Executive Mansion. Melania also highlights her work on legislation such as the “Take It Down Act” to protect children’s privacy and the “Fostering the Future” program for foster children.
Director Brett Ratner noted that success would not be measured by box office performance, emphasizing the film’s documentary nature. The release follows Melania’s efforts to maintain her privacy while refining her public image and engaging in global child-focused initiatives.
The documentary will open in roughly 1,600 theaters worldwide before streaming exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. Melania’s approach reflects a blend of traditional first lady responsibilities with advocacy and media engagement unprecedented for a sitting first lady.
