Becoming

Becoming (2020) is a documentary from Nadia Hallgren you can watch online on iFILM. It follows former first lady Michelle Obama on the arena tour for her best-selling memoir.

The camera stays close offstage: meet-and-greets, candid talks with young women, memories of growing up on Chicago's South Side and the years inside the White House. Hallgren catches her off-script — tired, funny, unguarded. What emerges is a portrait of a person sorting out her own voice, not a politician on message.

It extends the best-selling book Becoming and comes from Higher Ground, the production company the Obamas founded. A calm, personal film for anyone curious about the woman behind a very public role. Stream Becoming online on iFILM.
