Michelle and Barack Obama to produce Netflix documentary on civil values

Former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama’s upcoming animated series for Netflix has aimed at educating children on United States civics lessons.

Titled as ‘We the People’, the 10-episode series will feature three-minute music videos covering a wide range of topics to enlighten “a new generation of young Americans about the power of the people,” the streaming network wrote in a press release.

Several artists contributed original songs to the show, including H.E.R., Janelle Monáe, Brandi Carlile, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Adam Lambert, Cordae, Bebe Rexha, Kyle, and Andra Day. Poet Amanda Gorman will also perform.

The show is created by Doc McStuffins writer Chris Nee, who will executive produce alongside Michelle, 57, and Barack, 59, their Higher Ground Productions company, and Kenya Barris (Black-ish), Tonia Davis (The Greatest Showman), and Priya Swaminathan.

AFI DOCS will host the world premiere of “We the People” with a free screening event in the DOCS Talks section of the film festival on June 24. The show will premiere on Netflix on July 4.
