It is inconceivable that Trump could achieve anything as worthwhile as this…
“Barack and Michelle Obama have unveiled their first batch of projects in development with Netflix.
The diverse seven-title run from the Obamas Higher Grounds Production company addresses social and political activism.
It includes a film on early slavery abolitionist Frederick Douglass, adapted from David W. Blight’s Pulitzer Prize-winning biography.
The former US president said he hoped to do more than “just entertain”. He said the productions “will educate, connect and inspire us all,” by “touching on issues of race and class, democracy and civil rights and much more”.
Mr. Obama and the former first lady signed a deal with the streaming service last year.
Chris Daly, professor of journalism at Boston University and author of Covering America: A Narrative History of Nation’s Journalism, said the Obamas have made “great cultural contribution” with their selections.
From Trump all we have is a series of bitter tweets. There is no comparison.
