A Melania Trump documentary will be released by Amazon Prime Video this year

Melania Trump is the focus of a new documentary distributed by Amazon Prime Video, the streaming branch of Jeff Bezos' tech giant, which has exclusive licensing rights for its streaming and theatrical release later this year, the company said Sunday.

The incoming first lady is an executive producer on the film directed by Brett Ratner, who was infamously cast out of the Warner Brothers studio after being accused of sexual misconduct in 2017.

Amazon said in a statement that the documentary offers an "unprecedented behind-the-scenes look" at Melania Trump and a "truly unique story." Filming began in December, and the project is slated for release at some point during the second half of this year.

"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," the company said.

The film is the latest connection between Amazon founder Bezos and President-elect Donald Trump. The company in December announced plans to donate $1 million to the President-elect's inauguration fund, and said that it would also stream Trump's inauguration on its Prime Video service, a separate in-kind donation worth another $1 million.

So, every bit of script must meet with her approval.

Needless to say, the movie will show what she wants us to see, unlike a movie such as The Apprentice, which shows the juicy bits.

She is the exec producer and the director was fired for 'dexual misconduct'.

However, it could only be shown in places named "Entrance In Back."

There won't be any negative stories or op-eds about Donnie in the WaPo for the next four years at least? 😐
