Is Melania Trump's new film a documentary? Fan service? Or
propaganda?

The Amazon funded $40 million-$75 million film, follows the first
lady as she prepares for her husband's second inauguration. But,
it's finely manicured editing and it's fabricated storylines
obscure reality - much like the Trump administration's broader
media strategy. So what's the point?

Brittany sits down with NPR Senior Arts Critic Bob Mondello, and
Vulture Movie Critic Alison Willmore. They examine the wardrobe
changes, opulent decor, and even Amazon’s financial support of the
movie and break down what this film tells us – and doesn’t tell us
– about the first lady.
