NEW: Long-Awaited Melania Trump Documentary Gets Premiere Date

First Lady Melania Trump has seen her immigrant success story maligned and manipulated by her critics for decades. But after years in the making, a new documentary will finally tell the truth about her arrival to the U.S., her breakout modeling career, and her auspicious marriage to Donald Trump.

“Melania,” which is set for release on Jan. 30, tells the tale of the Slovenia-born actress whose poise and pulchritude brought her in 1996 to the U.S., where she toiled for a decade before earning her citizenship. The model first met her future husband in 1998, and they married in a lavish ceremony seven years later.

Amazon MGM Studios has underwritten “Melania” and will oversee its distribution across U.S. movie theaters and on Prime Video, which counts over 200 million members worldwide.

In a nod to accuracy, Melania was tapped by the studio to serve as executive producer. The Brett Ratner-directed documentary has been teased since January. It will offer “unprecedented access to the 20 days leading up to the 2025 presidential inauguration — through the eyes of the first lady-elect herself,” Amazon MGM Studios announced on Thursday.

The film’s hefty price tag of $40 million is “breathtaking” for a documentary, say critics like Democratic strategist James Carville. However, the return of Melania and President Donald Trump to the White House — thanks to the votes of more than 77 million Americans — ensures that nearly one in four U.S. residents may have an interest in viewing the forthcoming film and three-part docuseries.

Viewers will be able to “step inside Melania Trump’s world as she orchestrates inauguration plans, navigates the complexities of the White House transition, and reenters public life with her family,” the studio said in its announcement, The Hill reports.

“With exclusive footage capturing critical meetings, private conversations, and never-before-seen environments, ‘Melania’ showcases Mrs. Trump’s return to one of the world’s most powerful roles,” the logline continued.

The veteran first lady has lived a lowkey life since her husband began his second administration. However, an exception was made last week with Melania’s surprise announcement that she had partnered with Russian President Vladimir Putin to reunite displaced Ukrainian children with their parents.

“As first lady, this is an important initiative for me,” she said at a White House press conference. “It is built on shared purpose and lasting impact.”

She has appeared occasionally for the pomp and circumstance of public life, including President Trump’s inauguration and recent visit with the British Royal Family. She also attended Fourth of July celebrations, the funeral of Pope Francis, the White House Easter egg roll, a visit to Texas flooding victims and the administration’s multimillion-dollar festival and parade celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, USA Today reported.
