Melania Trump, a partner of Amazon, will release a new film about her life in theaters around the world
EXCLUSIVE: Amazon Prime has exclusively licensed the documentary for global theatrical release and streaming that will give viewers an “unprecedented behind-the-scenes look” at the first lady The Life of Melania Trump, Fox News Digital has learned.
Fox News Digital has learned that the project is expected to be released globally in theaters and for streaming use in the second half of 2025.
Filming of the upcoming documentary began in December 2024. The documentary will be executive produced First Lady Melania Trump and Fernando Sulichin of New Element Media, with Brett Ratner of RatPac Entertainment serving as director.
Prime Video is expected to share more details about the project as filming progresses, and will announce plans once they are finalized, Fox News Digital has learned.
“We are excited to share this truly unique story with our millions of customers around the world,” an Amazon spokesperson said in a statement.
The announcement comes just weeks before Mrs. Trump returns to the White House as the First Lady of the United States of America.
It also comes a few months after the release of her first book, “Melania”. The memoir is an intimate portrait of Melania Trump and includes personal stories and family photos that she has never shared with the public.

“Melania” has topped the New York Times bestseller list since its release.
In November, just days after President-elect Trump was elected as the 47th President of the United States, Mrs. Trump also released a series of digital photos to highlight her life on the 2024 campaign and at home.
In an interview with Fox News Digital last year, Trump said that if she has the privilege of serving as first lady again — which she will, starting Jan. 20, 2025 — she will continue to prioritize initiatives focused on the well-being and development of children to ensure they have “support and the resources they need to reach their full potential”.

“My focus would continue to be creating a safe and stimulating space for children to learn, grow and thrive,” she said.
During the first Trump administration, Mrs. Trump hosted virtual roundtables on foster care as part of her “Be the Best” initiative and focused on strengthening the child welfare system. She worked with members of Congress on legislation that provided funding for grants awarded to youth and young adults currently or formerly in foster care to help pay for college, career school or training. The law was eventually signed by then-President Donald Trump in December 2020.

Since leaving the White House, the former first lady has also created special edition irreplaceable tokens. A portion of those proceeds also went toward her “Empowering the Future” initiative for insurance educational opportunities and scholarships for children in the foster community.

Students in the Fostering the Future program are currently enrolled in multiple colleges and universities across the country, with majors focused primarily on technology and computer science.

“Writing my memoir has been an incredible journey filled with emotional ups and downs,” Mrs Trump told Fox News Digital last year. “Each story shaped me into who I am today.”
She said that “although sometimes scary, the process has been incredibly rewarding, reminding me of my strength and the beauty of sharing my truth.”
