Obama Film Debut: New Doc from Michelle & Barack Shows Underbelly of Trump Prosperity

Barack and Michelle Obama debut their first Higher Ground Production for Netflix, a documentary about the underbelly of the alleged Trump prosperity — American Factory. The new doc looks at a former GM plant, taken over by a Chinese auto glass firm, where workers make less money, and struggle to adapt to the regime of their new masters. Even the creators of the film acknowledge the sweet political timing — in the midst of the 2020 presidential race — that induced the Obamas to choose their film for this first outing.
