Former US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama have struck a socially-exalting deal with Netflix. They will produce films and series for the digital platform. "This is a multi-year agreement to produce films and series for Netflix, potentially including scripted series, unscripted series, docu-series, documentaries, and features," Netflix said in a statement.

As per several reports, the Obamas' only intention is to spread positive stories that "promote greater empathy and understanding between peoples". They are not for making profits.

Interestingly, US President Donald Trump has reacted in his own style: "The Wall Street Journal asks, 'WHERE IN THE WORLD WAS BARACK OBAMA?' A very good question!" he tweeted. Fittingly, a doctor said, "Barack and Michelle Obama having their own show on Netflix is sure to enrage Trump and delight America. Can’t wait to watch it."
