It is a documentary worth watching just to get a first-hand glimpse into the surreal life of a first lady.

Former American first lady Michelle Obama documents her book tour through America, meeting her supporters and touching various lives.

Being a young former first lady means having to rediscover a new way of life and having to take her career in a different direction of more mentorship than her previous profession as a lawyer.Members of her family feature in the documentary. Her very outspoken mother is adamant that she doesn’t miss the White House and brother Craig’s spicy sense of humour adds light to the tour.

She shares a tale in one of her interviews about how her guidance counsellor didn’t think she was good enough to go to the Ivy league university of Princeton – a hurtful “punch” that most women of colour who strive towards success tend to experience in various ways through life.Former US first lady Michelle Obama’s memoirs became a publishing sensation, selling more than two million copies in North America in two weeks.

She is straightforward in her speech and her opinions are a refreshing insight, as opposed to stereotypical, voiceless first ladies, who are only known to stand next to their husbands, shake hands and kiss babies.
