the documentary, its controversial director and a camera that films “how history is made”
A first lady, the wife of the president of a leading world power, a documentary with 40 million dollars budget, Jeff Bezos in there, a director who is a friend of Netanyahu and accused of inappropriate sexual conduct… All this, and much more, … is what it offers’Melania‘, the documentary film about Donald Trump’s wife, which narrates the days before the proclamation of the new president of the United States. The camera, according to the producers, has filmed «how history is made».
No one can deny that “history” is one of the favorite terms in the Trump family. It is almost impossible not to find a statement or speech by the American where he does not refer to each decision or act as a form of writing new lines for the “history” of the country and, consequently, for himself and for the world. And it is also one of those terms that Melania Trump has also taken root as she debates what her true influence is around the American president. While some defend that it is just a vase, others are quick to warn that it is a true power in the shadows and with a powerful influence on her husband at all levels. Even when making political decisions.
In this time, Melania Trump has cultivated a deeply enigmatic image. The same one that could be seen in the Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony as president. Then the open-topped hat she was wearing went viral, barely allowing her eyes to be seen while her husband took the oath. And a good part of that is what the documentary ‘Melania’ is about, which premieres on Amazon Prime, owned by Jeff Bezos, this January 30.
The content of Melania’s documentary
The film follows the first lady in the 20 days leading up to the 2025 inauguration and offers access that the platform defines as “unprecedented» and under the promise to offer exclusive images capturing crucial meetings, private conversations and never-before-seen environments. An investiture turned into a television show and another ‘Big Brother’ of the president. The promotional slogan seems designed by Donald Trump himself or his advisors: «Witness history being made».
In the first promotional trailer that Amazon Prime has released, Donald Trump appears while Melania assists him with the camera present. «My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker“, announces the president before being somewhat more precise with the ambitious and challenging role he pursues: “Peacemaker and unifier.” «Everyone wants to know, so here you have it», Melania proclaims later in the promotional video.

Melania Trump is also facing an exceptional moment that she intends to immortalize in that contemporary statue that is these days a television documentary.
Melania Trump is also facing an exceptional moment that she intends to immortalize in that contemporary statue that is these days a television documentary. «The 20 days of my life, prior to the presidential inauguration of the United States, constitute an exceptional and decisive momentone that deserves meticulous care, integrity and unwavering craftsmanship,” he assured the friendly network Fox News when exclusively presenting the trailer for ‘his’ film. «I am proud to share this very specific moment of my life—20 days of intense transition and planning—with movie buffs and fans from all over the world,” he stated.
Rights of 40 million dollars
The information unofficially warns that Amazon spared no expense for the documentary about Trump’s wife and that the platform owned by Jeff Bezos invested $40 million in obtaining the rights to the documentary, which the first lady originally conceived in November 2024while also securing another three-part docuseries that will show his life traveling between New York, Washington DC, and Palm Beach.
Another great focus of controversy has been director’s choicewho is none other than disgraced director Brett Ratner. It is his return to his craft after being accused of sexual misconduct by several women in 2017. After that, the filmmaker moved (or fled, according to testimonies) to Israel in 2023 and from there he called himself a “proud Zionist” on Instagram.
The dark profile of the director
The profile of the dark Ratner is complete if it is known that he is a close friend of Benjamin Netanyahu. Needless to say, his name had all the blessings of the president of the United States when he was introduced the list of candidates to direct his wife’s documentary about those days in which he began to “make history”, according to his canons.
The return of Donald Trump to the White House was undoubtedly great news for Ratner, whose relationship with the president of the United States goes further than that of the documentary ‘Melania’. Thanks to him he will be able to recover his Rush Hour franchise (‘Rush Hour in Spain) after Donald Trump, it has been published, helped decisively to obtain financing for the fourth film in the saga. The film will be distributed by Paramount, a company recently acquired by Skydance and backed by Larry Ellison, a personal friend of the president.
