The film, billed by the company as a “behind the scenes” look at her life, started shooting in December and is slated for theatrical and streaming release this year.

The project is expected to be released globally in theaters and for streaming use in the second half of 2025. Filming for the upcoming documentary began in December 2024.

Melania Trump is the focus of a new documentary that's set for release by Amazon Prime Video later this year, the company announced Sunday.
