Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET

 

This 2016 biographical movie premieres today on Netflix, starring Devon Terrell as the young Barack Obama, seen here as an earnest and argumentative college student, just entering Columbia University at the start of the Reagan era. This movie is directed by Vikram Gandhi of HBO’s Vice – which ought to give you a sense of his in-your-face approach to the film’s politics and personal conflicts. But look at it this way, as a partnership of sorts you thought you’d never see: together again for the first time, Obama and Gandhi!
