Melania Trump will be seen in a new light thanks to jaw-dropping documentary.
The third wife of The Apprentice star and President Donald Trump is set to be the focus of an eye-opening new documentary by acclaimed director Brett Ratner, with Amazon Prime Video snagging the exclusive rights for both a streaming showcase and theatrical release later this year.
The company dished on Sunday that filming has already kicked off for the revealing flick, which aims to offer viewers an "unprecedented behind-the-scenes look" at Melania's life, billing it as a "truly unique story." The First Lady, who recently penned her own memoir, is preparing for her husband's return to office come January 20.
This latest project weaves another thread between Amazon's honcho Jeff Bezos and the Trump brand; in December, Amazon pledged a staggering $1 million to Trump's inauguration festivities and announced it would also cast Trump's swearing-in ceremony across its Prime Video platform, a gesture worth another million.

However, lately, peace seems to have been brokered, as Amazon and other tech giants cozy up to Trump's returning administration.
This past December, Bezos couldn't hide his buzz about possible deregulation up ahead and shared his bright view on Trump's second go-around. In October, Bezos refused to allow the Post to endorse a presidential candidate, leading to tens of thousands of people cancelling their subscriptions and sparking protests from long-serving journalists. Over the weekend, a cartoonist resigned after an editor rejected her sketch depicting the newspaper's owner and other media executives bowing before the president-elect.

Argentine filmmaker Fernando Sulichin is executive producing the film, which began shooting in December. Melania has remained a mysterious figure since her husband announced his candidacy in the 2016 election. Despite serving as first lady, she sought to maintain her privacy, focusing on raising their son, Barron, and promoting her Be Best initiative for children's wellbeing.
Although she appeared at her husband's campaign launch event for 2024 and attended the closing night of the Republican National Convention this summer, she has largely stayed away from the campaign trail. However, the responsibilities of being first lady again may require a higher public profile after Inauguration Day.
