First Lady Melania Trump has officially launched her film production company, Muse Films, coinciding with the announcement of her upcoming documentary titled *Melania*. The film is set for a worldwide theatrical release on January 30, 2026, and will later be available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The documentary, which Amazon MGM Studios acquired for a reported $40 million, promises an unprecedented behind-the-scenes look at Melania Trump's life during the 20 days leading up to her husband Donald Trump's second inauguration.
Details of the Documentary
The documentary will focus on Melania Trump's preparations for the inauguration, her role in organizing the First Lady's office, and her family's transition back into public life. It will feature brief appearances by President Donald Trump and their son, Barron. Directed by Brett Ratner, who has faced allegations of sexual misconduct, the project has already sparked controversy regarding his involvement and the implications of such a partnership.
Official Statements & Responses

An Amazon spokesperson expressed excitement about sharing her story with a global audience, highlighting the film's unique perspective.
Criticism & Opposition
The announcement of Muse Films and the documentary has drawn mixed reactions. Critics have raised concerns about the ethical implications of a sitting First Lady engaging in a multimillion-dollar deal with a major corporation like Amazon, especially given the company's political ties. Additionally, the choice of Brett Ratner as director has been met with backlash, as it raises questions about the message Melania Trump is sending regarding accountability and the #MeToo movement.

As Melania Trump embarks on this new venture, it remains unclear what future projects Muse Films may undertake beyond the *Melania* documentary.
