AI Summary

long article 7 min

A new documentary, "Melania: 20 Days to History," co-produced by Melania Trump, premiered in US cinemas, aiming to provide an intimate look into her life leading up to her husband's 2025 inauguration. The film has drawn criticism regarding its funding and timing, coinciding with protests over fatal shootings. While the film shows Trump at public events and meetings, it offers limited insight into her daily life. The documentary, directed by Brett Ratner, whose involvement has also sparked controversy, largely takes place at Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago, focusing on Trump's interactions with her staff. The film intends to showcase her journey from private citizen to First Lady, but some viewers may find it lacking in substance.
