Melania Premiere Debuts High-Budget Amazon Documentary

Melania Trump premiered a high-budget Amazon documentary at the Kennedy Center on Jan. 29, following a licensing deal reportedly worth $40 million and production costs pushing total spend to roughly $75 million. Directed by Brett Ratner, the film drew protesters and controversy—partly because of Ratner's past misconduct allegations and the documentary's political promotion by MAGA groups—raising questions about timing and optics.
