Amazon Prime Video has announced that they will release a documentary about Melania Trump, the incoming First Lady, later this year. Melania Trump will also be an executive producer for the project. While the details of the documentary are not clear, Amazon has said that they are "excited to share this truly unique story." This is another media project for Melania Trump, who released a book in October that became a bestseller.
The documentary will start filming in December 2024, and it is planned to be released in theatres and on Prime Video in the second half of 2025. Right now, there aren’t many details available about the project, but Amazon has said it will share more information as filming moves forward.
Involvement and future release
Although Melania Trump has not commented on the documentary yet, her role as an executive producer means she will have a lot of control over the film’s direction and what it includes. As an executive producer, she can make decisions about the content, even though she has not said exactly how much she will be involved.
The documentary will be directed by Brett Ratner, a filmmaker who was accused of sexual misconduct in 2017, though he denied the allegations. Despite this, Ratner will still be in charge of directing the film.
Since leaving the White House in 2017, Melania Trump has only appeared in public with her husband, President-Elect Donald Trump, a few times. Some news reports say she might not live in the White House when Donald Trump returns to Washington later this month.
The announcement of the documentary comes after Donald Trump and Amazon became more connected. In December 2024, Jeff Bezos’ company, Amazon, promised to donate $1 million to Trump’s inauguration fund. Amazon also plans to stream his inauguration on Prime Video.
