Amazon is offering a first look at first lady Melania Trump’s upcoming documentary.

A new trailer for “Melania” aired on Fox News Wednesday morning, providing a small peak into her private life in the 20 days leading up to her husband’s second inauguration.

The film, helmed by controversial director Brett Ratner, boasts “unprecedented access” and “exclusive footage capturing critical meetings, private conversations and never-before-seen environments.”

“Witness history in the making,” the tagline reads.

The trailer opens on the first lady, dressed in a dark tailored suit and a wide-brimmed hat, at the Capitol Rotunda ahead of her husband’s swearing-in ceremony.

“Here we go again,” she says.

The quip is followed by a montage of clips showing Melania traveling on planes, as well as visiting New York, the White House and Mar-a-Lago.

 

“Everyone wants to know,” she says, “so here it is.”

The documentary is slated to be released in theaters on Jan. 30, before moving to Amazon’s Prime Video.

“The 20 days of my life, preceding the U.S. presidential inauguration, constitutes a rare and defining moment — one that warrants meticulous care, integrity and uncompromising craftsmanship,” Melania said to Fox News. “I am proud to share this very specific moment of my life — 20 days of intense transition and planning — with moviegoers and fans across the globe.”

The $40 million deal with Amazon MGM Studios, first reported by Puck News earlier this year, is also said to include a two-to-three-episode follow-up docuseries about Melania’s life as she bounces between New York, Florida and Washington, D.C.

Last month, the first lady launched her own production company, Muse Films, announcing the upcoming documentary as its debut project.

It also serves as a comeback vehicle of sorts for director Ratner, who largely retreated from Hollywood during the height of the #MeToo movement after multiple women accused him of sexual misconduct.
