Melania Trump’s Secret 20 Days: Documentary Premieres Global Theaters on January 30

A documentary chronicling Melania Trump’s preparations as she navigates her role as First Lady ahead of President Donald Trump’s second inauguration will debut worldwide in theaters on January 30, 2026.

The film, titled “MELANIA,” captures the final 20 days prior to the U.S. presidential inauguration, offering an unfiltered glimpse into the former first lady’s journey through family, business, and philanthropy. In a statement shared Wednesday on X, Melania Trump announced the release date, describing the project as providing “a private, unfiltered look” during this pivotal transition period.

The trailer highlights scenes spanning Trump Tower, Mar-a-Lago, and Washington, emphasizing the compressed timeline leading to the inauguration. A key moment features Melania taking a call with Donald Trump in a gilded office: “Hi Mr. President, congratulations!” she says. “Did you watch it?” he asks. She replies, “I did not, yeah, I will see it on the news.”

Amazon reportedly acquired the film rights for $40 million, with theaters in North America, South America, Asia, Europe, Israel, and the United Arab Emirates among other markets set to screen the 104-minute feature. The documentary is executive produced by Melania Trump and Fernando Sulichin, directed by Brett Ratner, and marks a rare opportunity in modern politics for direct access to this high-stakes transition without mainstream media commentary.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos reportedly took a personal interest in the project, strengthening ties with the Trump family.
