A new documentary glorifying Kamala Harris is gearing up for a cinematic release right in time to influence voters ahead of the upcoming presidential election. The film, produced by CNN commentator Bakari Sellers, promises to showcase her “humanity” and uplifting political journey—though one has to wonder which version of the truth they’re selling this time around.
Looking to hit theaters in October, the documentary won’t just be a stroll down memory lane; it’ll be a well-orchestrated public relations spectacle filled to the brim with interviews from family, celebrities, and other left-leaning pals. After all, nothing says “I care about the average American” quite like a star-studded cast singing praises of a vice president whose main accomplishment so far has been a long list of cringe-worthy moments.
The co-director of the documentary has already set the tone by casting Harris in the role of a warrior—a modern-day Joan of Arc apparently fighting for the well-being of all people. What this sentiment conveniently skips over is the reality of skyrocketing consumer prices and the ongoing border crisis. These are the issues that lighten the wallets of everyday Americans, yet they are presumably off-limits for the filmmakers focused more on accolades than accountability. However, viewers can expect a grand narrative about breaking barriers, as if tackling the job of vice president could equate to busting through the glass ceiling while dodging real problems.
Just think how wonderfully sick we will be.
Democrats want us to elect not only the 1st Black woman president, but Kamala will be our 1st Communist president. 💣💣💣💣💣💥
GOD BLESS & PROTECT OUR ONLY HOPE. 🙏#MAGA2024! https://t.co/L36MqPAcPI

This documentary isn’t alone in trying to sway the electorate. Reports show the controversial Trump biopic, The Apprentice, is also making its way to theaters, set to premiere just days before the polls open. It appears that as the election looms ever closer, both sides are gearing up for a cinematic tug-of-war, complete with modified narratives crafted to charm voters.
In a world where traditional press and new media increasingly blur, this documentary serves as a reminder that voters must tread carefully. While Harris’ story is undoubtedly one of perseverance, it remains to be seen whether the film can sidestep the glaring issues surrounding her time in office. Predictably, though, audiences are likely to get more gloss than grit when it comes to analyzing her record. As the election draws near, Americans are in for a crash course in selective storytelling—buckle up.
