‘Melania’: What to know about the US first lady’s new documentary

A documentary film titled "Melania" is set to be released, focusing on the U.S. First Lady's life in the 20 days leading up to President Donald Trump's inauguration in January 2025. The film, distributed by Amazon MGM Studios, promises an intimate look at Melania Trump's fashion, diplomatic engagements, and Secret Service protection. Marc Beckman, the film's producer, asserts that the film is not political and that the First Lady spearheaded the film's creative direction. However, the film's high budget and Melania Trump's role as executive producer, along with her sizable fee, have raised questions amid concerns about wealthy donors seeking favor with the Trump administration. The 104-minute documentary aims to provide unprecedented access into Melania Trump's life.
