MELANIA Trump's forthcoming Amazon documentary will give viewers an exclusive look inside her private life, sources at the streaming giant have teased.
Trump, 54, has been closely involved in the inner workings of the project ever since Amazon announced the documentary in January, where they revealed that filming began last November.

Details about the project have been kept under wraps with Trump only describing it as a "day-to-day life, what I'm doing, what kind of responsibilities I have," she told Fox & Friends in January.
She teased that the documentary will disclose details about the "transition team to moving to the White House, packing, the First Lady's office, and establishing her team."
Now, an insider working for the production team of the documentary told The U.S. Sun that Trump views the project as the best way to express herself to supporters.
The insider added that the First Lady wants it to convey she's a woman that "has ideas and wants to work on her own projects."
"Melania wants people to know who she really is," the source told The U.S. Sun.
"She's a private person, but she is very happy to be back on the spotlight in that project, and she thinks that doing a documentary is the best way to talk about herself and her life in a deep way - in a deeper way than just public appearances or interviews.
"She knows what she wants, and she is a boss, that is for sure," the insider added, saying Trump has been very engaged and constructive with the production crew to make the best documentary possible.
'LIFE OF THE FIRST LADY'
The source revealed to The U.S. Sun that President Trump, their son, Barron, and other family members are featured in some scenes, but the main premise of the project is about the first lady.
A source who works for Amazon said she was very excited about the project
A source who works for Amazon said Trump has disclosed to the production team a lot of "information about how life is in the White House," and the "life of the First Lady."

"She shows us a lot of details of the White House life, about what she loves about her function and life, but also the role model she is for other women and her family," the insider said.
"We are getting inside things about her life, how she sees herself in this powerful environment, but also how she is as a mother, and the love she has for Barron, the support she shows to him 24/7, being also a role model for him.
"There are also some moments with her husband, and Donald is not taking too much spotlights because he knows that this project is important for her.
"But he gives a couple of details about the White House, and their way of life outside of there, in Mar-a-Lago, but also in New York for example, where she spends a lot of time.

"Barron loves that his mother is doing a project like this and despite being shy, he is going to be in many parts of the documentary."
Puck News reported that Amazon shelled out a whopping $40 million to license the documentary, which is expected to release during the fall, the production insider told The U.S. Sun.
The project is being spearheaded by disgraced producer Brett Ratner, who has not been active in the world of film since 2018.
In 2017, several women in Hollywood, including actresses Olivia Munn and Natasha Henstridge, came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against Ratner.
Ratner denied all the accusation and was never criminally charged.
