Becoming director reflects on capturing the true essence of Michelle Obama
The Netflix project takes viewers on a personal journey with Obama as she tours the country promoting her book, making stops along the way to visit with family members, and for intimate conversations with diverse groups of young people.
. "The team that Mrs. Obama works with, which is primarily women, have been working with her since the early days. Some were with her from even before her time at the White House. They have such a familial work environment. Everyone knows each other, they work so hard and they very much have a rhythm with the way they do things. And then here I come in the middle of it all as a stranger! But they all welcomed me warmly, and I appreciated that so much.
She adds, "It was really important to highlight that Mrs. Obama was going out into the world and sharing her story from her perspective with audiences. We didn't feel like we needed to have people speaking to her story for her, she tells it from her perspective and she does it so well. The time when President Obama does come on the scene, it's just really fun to see them interacting with each other.
