Michelle Obama Reveals "Overwhelming Gratitude" for Global Coronavirus Efforts

Critics aren’t thrilled with Netflix’s recently released documentary about Michelle Obama, titled “Becoming.” The documentary, which dropped on May 6, was a surprise announcement in late April from the streaming platform in conjunction with the Obama’s Higher Ground Productions. Directed by Nadia Hallgren, it follows the former first lady on her 2018 book tour in which she traveled across the country speaking at various events.

After living in the White House for eight years former First Lady Michelle Obama is revealing a new side of herself in her Netflix documentary Becoming, based on her memoir of the same name. Upon entering the White House in 2008, Obama, 56, had some changes she wanted to make, especially on behalf of her young daughters, Malia, 21, and Sasha, 18, who were no more than 10 and seven years old when they entered the 1600 Penn address.

began as the story of Michelle Obama's life, which she put to paper in a memoir and which is now a documentary following the former first lady behind the scenes of her 34-city book tour and billing itself as a «rare and up-close look at her life» after leaving the White House.

In a very short period of time, former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama have become a documentary force with their production company Higher Ground. Partnered with Netflix, they won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature last year (for American Factory), and are likely to be in Oscar contention again this year for Crip Camp.
