One to WATCH: The first trailer for Netflix’s Barack Obama film, Barry
By the end of this week, we will have successfully ploughed through the upcoming episodes of Gilmore Girls and will almost certainly be back hunting for our next Netflix feast.
With this grim prediction in mind, we were delighted to come across the first trailer for the site’s Barack Obama biopic, Barry, which is due for release in mid-December.
Set in the Autumn of 1981, Barry tracks Obama’s junior year at Columbia University as the future 44th President of the United States grapples with many of the same social challenges he went on to face in office.
With the trailer suggesting Obama’s diverse ethnic background “makes him American”, Barry appears to offer a refreshing contrast of opinion to those expressed by the new President-elect on his journey to the White House.
Barry premieres on Netflix December 16.
