Melania Trump, the First Lady of the United States, is the subject of a forthcoming documentary film scheduled for global theatrical release on January 30, 2026, according to details released alongside a newly unveiled trailer.
The 104-minute film will appear in theaters across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates. Amazon is also preparing to launch a related documentary series in the coming months.
The film focuses on a specific period in Melania Trump’s life connected to her husband’s first presidential inauguration.
In a statement to Fox News, the first lady described the project as centered on the days immediately preceding that event.
“History is set in motion during the 20 days of my life prior to the U.S. Presidential Inauguration,” she told Fox News.
“For the first time, global audiences are invited into theaters to witness this pivotal chapter unfold—a private, unfiltered look as I navigate family, business, and philanthropy on my remarkable journey to becoming First Lady of the United States of America.”
During President Donald Trump’s first term from 2017 to 2020, Melania Trump maintained a lower public profile than many previous first ladies.

She initially remained in New York City rather than relocating immediately to the White House, a decision made so that the couple’s son, Barron Trump, could complete his school year.
During that period, commentary circulated questioning her role and intentions, including online speculation that portrayed her as unhappy or constrained within the marriage.
Over time, her public presence increased.
In recent years, Melania Trump has appeared regularly alongside President Trump at public events and has taken part in activities related to international affairs.
She has also published a memoir that reached best-seller status.
The newly released trailer offers a look at the tone and scope of the upcoming film.
The footage moves between multiple settings and moments, including scenes from the presidential inauguration, appearances with President Trump outside Mar-a-Lago, and behind-the-scenes views connected to inauguration preparations.
The trailer includes images of Barron Trump and Melania Trump’s father, as well as shots of Air Force One and the presidential seal.
At one point, the familiar Metro Goldwyn Mayer lion appears on screen before transitioning into footage of Melania Trump entering a room where President Trump stands at a podium rehearsing a speech.
“My proudest legacy will be that of peacemaker,” President Trump says in the clip.
Melania Trump responds by adding, “Peacemaker and unifier.”
Later in the trailer, she addresses the audience directly, saying, “Everyone wants to know. So here it is.”

The theatrical release date of January 30, 2026, places the documentary among a slate of global releases planned by Amazon MGM Studios.
