The Obamas are teaming with Netflix once again for a documentary about MichelleObama's IAmBecoming book tour
first look trailer for “Becoming”
In her own statement on the film, Hallgren says that she was approached by Higher Ground with the idea of filming Obama during her tour, and was granted a 30-minute meeting with the former First Lady to decide whether she was the right fit to make “Becoming.
Those months I spent traveling — meeting and connecting with people in cities across the globe — drove home the idea that what we share in common is deep and real and can’t be messed with. In groups large and small, young and old, unique and united, we came together and shared stories, filling those spaces with our joys, worries, and dreams. We processed the past and imagined a better future. In talking about the idea of ‘becoming,’ many of us dared to say our hopes out loud.
It’s hard these days to feel grounded or hopeful, but I hope that like me, you’ll find joy and a bit of respite in what Nadia has made. Because she’s a rare talent, someone whose intelligence and compassion for others comes through in every frame she shoots. Most importantly, she understands the meaning of community, the power of community, and her work is magically able to depict it.
