The film aims to provide a rare look into one of President-elect Donald Trump’s most trusted and private advisers, offering insights into her life and career.
Donald Trump, a former reality TV star, has had a complicated relationship with Hollywood since his political career began in 2015. However, Amazon’s decision to license the documentary suggests they recognize his enduring popularity among many Americans, who re-elected him for a second term in November. Melania Trump, known for being one of the most private and enigmatic figures in public life, will now share her story with a global streaming audience.
An Amazon spokesperson confirmed the news, stating, “Prime Video will be sharing more details on the project as filming progresses and release plans are finalized. We are excited to share this truly unique story with our millions of customers around the world.”
Melania Trump will serve as an executive producer for the documentary, indicating her full participation and editorial control over the project. Filming began in December, shortly after Donald Trump secured his re-election, and the documentary is expected to be released in mid-2025, a few months after he assumes office again.
Directed by Brett Ratner, the documentary marks Ratner’s first major project since 2017, when he was accused of sexual misconduct by several women—claims he has denied. The documentary will be available both theatrically and through streaming, according to Amazon. Fox News Digital was the first to report on the project.
Melania Trump's autobiography, released in October, remains a bestseller on Amazon and topped the New York Times bestseller list upon its release.
In addition to her book success, CNN has reported that Melania Trump is unlikely to return to Washington full-time after her husband’s inauguration. She is expected to maintain a presence on the world stage, though she will largely divide her time between New York City and Palm Beach, Florida. Sources close to her reveal that she prefers to stay out of the public eye and will focus on her own priorities as First Lady, without any intention of stepping into the traditional role of a highly visible public figure.
Despite her low-key approach, Melania Trump will be present at key events, and discussions about how she will spend her time are still ongoing.
