The first project to result from former president Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama’s multiyear content deal with Netflix will release on the streamer and in select theaters this fall. American Factory, a documentary Netflix acquired at the Sundance Film Festival this year, will open on Netflix and in some North American theaters Aug. 21, IndieWire reports. Directed by Steven Bognar and Julia Reichert (codirectors of the Emmy-winning A Lion in the House), it won Sundance’s Directing Award for U.S. Documentary, and attracted early Oscars attention.
