WATCH THE TRAILER

“It’s an intimate journey, a behind-the-scenes peek at her life as she’s doing the unheard of: filling stadiums with screaming fans like she’s a rock star.”

— Shonda Rhimes

“It is in part a self-examination project for the former first lady, composed of scenes clipped from her book tour, detailing interactions and conversations with fans and friends, both onstage and off.”

— Kate Bennett

“I found it refreshing how she didn't distance herself from her roots or try to project a more 'appropriate' version of herself. She's uncensored and unafraid.”

— Jeetendr Sehdev
