Melania, the newly released documentary on the First lady, Melania Trump, is now running in theatres. Directed by Brett Ratner, it covers the 20 days leading up to the presidential inauguration of Donald Trump in January 2025.
Unlike most documentaries, Melania doesn't show the First lady in candid moments. Instead, she’s always styled and in her heels, and most of her presence in the two-hour-long feature is in the form of voice-over narration.
She touches upon her relationship with her mother, Amalija Knavs, and the impact she’s had on her life. We see Melania honoring her mother on her death anniversary at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The First Lady also talks about her son, Barron Trump.
Want a sneak peek into the first lady's life? Here's how to watch Melania from anywhere.
