Just when you thought that you had watched all that Netflix has to offer, a Michelle Obama documentary drops and we can only imagine how inspiring it will be.

Michelle Obama gives an intimate look at her life before, during and after her role as the first lady of the United States of America in the trailer for Netflix's Becoming. The documentary feature shares the name of Obama's best-selling 2018 memoir and recounts some of the same history of her life, including her time at the White House.

Where other docs go deep, Netflix’s Michelle Obama portrait stays shallow, but the former FLOTUS’s inspirational personality comes through loud and clear.
