Netflix announces a new Michelle Obama documentary ‘Becoming’, due out May 6 (Barf)
TechCrunch ^ | April 27, 2020 | Anthony Ha

Netflix and Barack and Michelle Obama’s production company have announced their latest film: “Becoming,” a documentary that follows Michelle as she goes on tour to promote her bestselling memoir of the same name.

Although the documentary was directed by Nadia Hallgren, it sounds like the film had extensive access to and input from Michelle Obama . After all, it was produced by Higher Ground Productions, the company the Obamas formed to create content for Netflix, Spotify and others.

And the announcement comes with a letter from Obama, in which she says this wasn’t just a standard book tour: “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.”

“American Factory,” the first film to come out of Higher Ground’s production deal with Netflix, won this year’s Oscar for Best Documentary Feature.

While Netflix and Higher Ground only announced the film today, it won’t be a long wait for its release — Netflix plans to launch “Becoming” in just over a week, on May 6.

All of the Obama crap is exactly why I cancelled Netflix.

Amazing how much I don’t notice that it’s gone.

My first thought too! “Follow her brave journey from male to female to First Lady.”

I’m sure it will investigate her $307,000 no-show job at a Chicago hospital. You go, Girl!

She never “became” anything other than what she is - another lib woman who’s never had any accomplishments or real jobs and who’s known because of her corrupt husband. Funny how the conservative women out there seem to accomplish things on their own.

Must be something about.......oh yeah, talent and ability.

That’s OK - we have enjoyed a number of Netflix series and will continue to do so - avoiding the crap is as easy as not tuning to CNN on regular TV.

When the book came out I was hoping it was the true story of his/her transition.

Michelle Obama, a man who never accomplished anything except shopping at the wrong store.

Dancing Queens is why i killed my Netflix subscription. Netflix was funding the abuse of children for the making of that show. I was able to cope with the Obamas involvement in Netflix but I can’t and won’t allow my funds to be used for child abuse.

Hahahahahahaha

That was what finally got me over the hump and made me dump Netflix, their disgusting Leftist bias and Obama Worship and partnership.

It's a good thing I haven't had breakfast yet.

If I subscribed to Netflix, I would immediately cancel.

According to this it’s basically a promo for the VP contest.

Isn’t the full title “Becoming Michele, the Michael Robinson Story”?

Yes, Netflix is releasing this (what I assume to be, I mean, the Obamas certainly wouldn't produce anything self-critical) homage to the wookie. Compare and contrast this with the hit-job Mrs America series currently running, tearing apart Phyllis Schlafly.
