“It was amazing once we heard that the president and therefore the first lady had seen our film, and wanted to embrace it and wanted to elevate us as filmmakers,” she said. “I mean, they’re considerably into artists and writers.”

During a sit-down conversation between the filmmakers and therefore the Obamas that was published online in August, Michelle Obama noted, “one of the various things i really like about this project is that it’s not an article .”
