Melania Trump's documentary premieres at the Kennedy Center ahead of global release
The documentary, costing $40 million, offers a behind-the-scenes look at Melania Trump's life during the 20 days before the 2025 inauguration, aiming to improve her public image.
- On Thursday, First Lady Melania Trump will premiere the film at the Kennedy Center and walk the red carpet before its theatrical release Friday on about 1,600 screens worldwide.
- Filming began in December 2024, when Melania Trump spent chunks of time away from Washington last year and was deeply involved in every aspect of its development, Marc Beckman said.
- Producer credits list Melania Trump alongside Marc Beckman and Fernando Sulichin, with AmazonMGM Studios producing the $40 million documentary that will stream exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
- The release raises ethics questions about outside business ventures for presidents and first ladies, and experts say the film could improve Melania Trump's image while historians call it unprecedented, noting links to Jeff Bezos.
- On Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2026, Melania Trump rang the New York Stock Exchange opening bell and noted the film `provides a window into an important period`, following a White House viewing last Saturday and while advancing a 2026 legislative effort and the `Fostering the Future` program.
