WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
On a summer afternoon in 1989 Chicago, a charismatic young associate by the name of Barack Obama (Sawyers) tries to win the heart of young lawyer Michelle Robinson (Sumpter) by taking her to the Art Institute of Chicago, a screening of Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing, and an ice cream parlour where they are destined to have their first kiss…
IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
The first date between President Barack Obama and his future wife Michelle is documented in this charming, sweet-natured, and most of all romantic little film.
