‘Rub this in Trump’s face!’ #Resistance goes ecstatic as Obama-backed documentary wins Oscar after disappointing week
American Factory, the very first film backed by Barack and Michele Obama’s new production company, took home the Best Documentary Award on Sunday night and Trump haters were quick to rub their triumph in the US president’s face.
The Obamas can now count themselves as Academy Award-winning filmmakers as their film took home an Oscar on Sunday night.
‘American Factory,’ which follows the story of an Ohio factory after it is reopened and changed by a Chinese billionaire, won the Best Documentary Academy Award.
Congrats to Julia and Steven, the filmmakers behind American Factory, for telling such a complex, moving story about the very human consequences of wrenching economic change. Glad to see two talented and downright good people take home the Oscar for Higher Ground’s first release. https://t.co/W4AZ68iWoY
