Michelle and Barack Obama’s Higher Ground Productions has unveiled its initial slate of projects for Netflix, and they are as wide-ranging as had been promised.
Here’s a breakdown:
“American Factory”: A documentary set in Ohio about the culture clash that occurs after a Chinese billionaire opens up a new factory where a General Motors plant once stood. The film is directed by Academy Award-nominated and Emmy Award-winners Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert (“The Last Truck: Closing of a GM Plant”).
“Bloom”: A drama “set in the world of fashion in post-WWII New York City that depicts barriers faced by women and by people of color in an era marked by hurdles but also tremendous progress,” according to a release.
