Melaniathe documentary that promises unprecedented access to the life of Melania Trump during the days before and after the 2025 presidential inauguration, it already has a trailer. While the countdown is activated for the theatrical release, scheduled for January 30, 2026, before its arrival on the platform Prime Videothe first images of the film were released, which is produced by the Argentine Fernando Sulichin, a professional with a long career both in Hollywood and in the alternative scene of the seventh art.

Directed by Brett Ratner, Melania focuses on the twenty days surrounding the presidential inauguration of Donald Trumpcovering both the period before and after the event. The narrative is built from the perspective of Melania Trump, who in addition to starring in the work, participates as executive producer. This double function gives the story a personal and authoritative character, allowing the former first lady to tell her story from within and with control over creative decisions.

Melania’s production marks a new milestone in the international career of Sulich’sborn in Buenos Aires and living in the United States since the late 80s, where he studied architecture at UCLA. His time at university led him to discover his vocation for cinema, beginning a career that positioned him as an associate producer of Malcolm X (Spike Lee, 1992) and linked it to figures such as Sean Penn, Oliver Stone and Lee himself. Throughout his career, Sulichin consolidated his presence in both major Hollywood productions and international independent cinema, contributing his experience to high-profile projects and reinforcing the projection of Argentine talent in the global audiovisual industry.

Melania distances itself from conventional portraits by placing its protagonist at the center of the scene, not only as a public figure, but also as a woman, mother and wife. The documentary accompanies the first lady as she organizes the inauguration ceremony, manages the transition to the White House and redefines her public role with her family. The camera accesses key meetings, private conversations and hitherto unpublished spaces for the audience, with the aim of showing the inner workings of a usually reserved figure.

Among the notable scenarios are the White Housethe Torre Trump in New York and the residence of Mar-a-Lago in Florida. Advance images show Melania supervising details of her public image, such as the design of the black and white dress she wore at the inaugural ball, participating in institutional photo shoots and touring the emblematic places of her recent life. The documentary also includes scenes of personal planning and moments of reflection, in which the protagonist balances her institutional responsibilities with family life, business commitments and her philanthropic side.

The first official trailer offers a preview of the tone and approach of the work. The opening sequence shows Melania Trump in the navy hat and matching coat she wore during her husband’s presidential inauguration, uttering the phrase: “Here we go again.” Shortly after, he addresses the viewer directly with a statement that questions and anticipates the revealing nature of the documentary. In addition, the trailer includes fragments of telephone conversations with the president and rehearsals of speeches, where Melania suggests that Donald Trump define himself not only as a “peacemaker,” but also as a “unifier.” At another point, the former first lady acknowledges that she does not always agree with her husband and that, in her words, “that’s okay.”

The participation of Brett Ratner as director and production by Amazon MGM Studios y Prime Video They reinforce the international profile of the project. The combination of a high-level creative team and privileged access to the protagonist contribute to generating expectations about the potential impact of the documentary, which seeks to humanize Melania Trump and offer an unprecedented vision of her environment at a key moment in American politics. The work invites us to discover the most private dimension of a figure who, until now, has remained largely out of the spotlight.
