Duizend aanslagen op de Obama's
Raymi Sambo Maakt

Eight years after leaving the White House, Barack and Michelle Obama are looking for their place in society. Michelle is a bestselling author and one of the most influential Americans today. Barack travels around the world giving lectures while campaigning. But in a world of extremism and centre-right thinking, their relevance and influence are declining.

Duizend aanslagen op de Obama’s


Duizend aanslagen op de Obama’s
is a biopic that is made about the couple during tough relationship therapy sessions. It should be a compelling story about the period in the White House, a place where they never really felt at home. A period in which they continuously had to make concessions and almost never met the expectations of the black community in particular. Did they deny their own identity for the bigger picture?
-|-
Gradually, the actors who have to portray the Obamas get into trouble with their characters. Because who are you if you've had a mask on for eight years? How do you play someone you only know from the outside? The actors question the Obama's choices and motivations and challenge established beliefs. The biopic thus becomes a radical story of hope and change. Because what world do we want to live in now? What should we do for that? Is there still hope? Yes, there is. Is that easy to find? No, it's not.
