This is what winning looks like.

Don't hate on Obama just because the author and director are people of color.

Obama-produced apocalyptic thriller generates buzz among Netflix viewers (msn.com)

The shocking conclusion of the Netflix adaptation of Rumaan Alam’s apocalyptic thriller “Leave the World Behind” has the novel’s author applauding says Variety.The film marks Barack and Michelle Obama’s first foray into fictional filmmaking through their Higher Ground Productions company’s deal with Netflix.
Director Sam Esmail chose to end the Obama-produced film version with the runaway daughter Rosie, played by Farrah Mackenzie, finally viewing the “Friends” finale on DVD after finding a generator, a creative liberty not present in Alam’s book. While some elements are left open to interpretation, Alam told Variety that the ending “so satisfying and so rewarding.” He said, “To end with the particular jolt of humor that [Sam] does is so satisfying.”The Obamas provided notes for Esmail on the film, which stars Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Kevin Bacon and Ethan Hawke. It centers on a family’s vacation being upended when a cyberattack knocks out power and two strangers, played by Ali and Myha’la Herrold, show up claiming to own the rental home.Rather than tidy resolution, Alam feels it would “be so dissatisfying” to reveal the fates of all characters. He stated, “It’s a film that respects you as a viewer enough to not provide that.” A key moment comes when Amanda, played by Julia Roberts, and Myha’la Herrold’s Ruth come to an understanding but don’t embrace. As Alam said, “It’s not that kind of story.”Alam trusts Esmail’s translation of the story’s ambiguity from page to screen. At the premiere, he told People, “I feel personally that the film elicits a response in its audience that I hope my book did too.”

Fox News Loses Its Mind Over Obama’s ‘Anti-White’ Netflix Film

Obama never got over the death of Trayvon. It could have been his own son.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/fox-n ... 0ef2&ei=21

Fourteen years after then-Fox News star Glenn Beck made headlines by calling Barack Obama a “racist” who has a “deep-seated hatred for white people,” the right-wing network is still warning its viewers that the ex-president is trying to indoctrinate Americans with his “anti-white” racism.
To prove its point this time around, the conservative cable giant is pointing to the post-apocalyptic film Leave the World Behind, which was produced by Obama’s Higher Ground Productions and currently streaming on Netflix. At one point in the movie, a Black character warns her father about not trusting white people during a disaster.

Well the *** are in business with Netflix so they'll make sure millions of accounts magically stream the Ubama's little documentary show to make it appear that it's a big Blockbuster hit
