Amazon has made headlines with its $40 million acquisition of a highly anticipated documentary about Melania Trump, set to premiere on Prime Video later this year. This exclusive film, produced with Melania’s full involvement as an executive producer, promises an in-depth behind-the-scenes glimpse into her life, both before and during her time as First Lady.
The documentary will explore her personal journey, professional endeavors, and public moments, offering a rare perspective that few have had access to.
According to reports, Amazon outbid major competitors like Disney and Paramount to secure the streaming rights, reflecting the strong interest in her story. In addition to the primary documentary, a follow-up docuseries is planned, featuring two to three episodes that will delve deeper into specific aspects of her life. The project is directed by Brett Ratner, marking his return to filmmaking after several years away, following allegations against him in 2017.
Amazon’s Prime Video platform is eager to share this “truly unique” story with millions of viewers around the globe. The company’s spokesperson has stated that more details will be released as filming progresses, with an expected second-half release date.
This project aligns with Amazon’s broader strategy to diversify its content and tap into compelling narratives from a variety of perspectives. As excitement builds, fans and critics alike await more updates on what promises to be a significant and revealing portrayal of Melania Trump’s life.
