00:00I am from the south side of Chicago.

00:08The trailer for Michelle Obama's new Netflix documentary, Becoming, is here.

00:18So little of who I am happened in those eight years.
00:22So much more of who I was happened before.
00:25The documentary feature shares the name of Michelle's best-selling 2018 memoir and recounts some of the same history of her life, including her time at the White House.
00:34Additionally, the doc moves beyond the memoir and follows her on the 34-city tour she went on to promote the book.
00:39In high school, didn't see in you what you saw in yourself?

00:46The doc originated from former President Barack Obama and the former First Lady's production company Higher Ground.
00:52The company signed an exclusive pact with Netflix in 2018.
