Details on documentation and Brett Ratner

The designated US President Donald Trump won the election against Kamala Harris in November 2024. Melania Trump, who has lived in the United States since the 1990s and acquired US citizenship in 2005 after her wedding with Donald Trump, hardly appeared during the election campaign. Her son Barron is currently studying in New York.

Brett Ratner was confronted with allegations of sexual assault in 2017 in the course of the metoo movement, which he rejected. He had lost his Hollywood career in 2019 based on these allegations, but was able to return with this new project. Amazon confirmed that filming for the documentation last month has started and that the publication for the second half of 2025 is planned. The work aims to give an "unprecedented Behind the scenes look" on Melania Trump.

In recent years, Brett Ratner was in the news not only because of his work, but also because of the allegations against him. An actress had accused him of in Los Angeles Times for sexual assault. Another woman made a rape in a Facebook post, but later withdrew it. Ratner rejected all allegations and was not pursued by criminal law.

While Amazon did not confirm whether the Trump family is compensated for their participation in the documentation, the project reflects a change in the cultural dynamics and relationships with the new administration. Production is also supported by Fernando Suelichin, an Argentine documentary filmmaker who previously worked with Oliver Stone.
