Books to Screen: Michelle Obama's 'Becoming' to premiere as a documentary on Netflix on May 6
Michelle Obama's memoir Becoming has been our bookshelf-favorite for a while now. What if we told you Netflix has a surprise planned for us around it in this gloomy quarantine?
You heard us right! The bestselling book is all set to premiere on Netflix this weekend as a documentary and we can't stop squealing!
The former first lady announced on her official Instagram about her collaboration with Netflix following the 34-city book tour for her 2018 memoir. "I’m excited to let you know that on May 6, @Netflix will release BECOMING, a documentary film directed by Nadia Hallgren that looks at my life and the experiences I had while touring following the release of my memoir. Those months I spent traveling—meeting and connecting with people in cities across the globe—drove home the idea that what we share in common is deep and real and can’t be messed with," read her Instagram caption.
Michelle finished her caption off with the cutest motivational message. "this is one of the toughest parts of our new reality: Things that once felt simple—going to see a friend, sitting with someone who is hurting, embracing someone new—are now not simple at all...Even in hard times, our stories help cement our values and strengthen our connections. Sharing them shows us the way forward. I love and miss you all," she signed off.
