<p><strong>Higher Ground Production</strong> has recently announced their upcoming projects in partnership with <strong>Netflix</strong>. The projects include fiction, non-fiction, and kids&amp;family across both series and feature films. Their former projects were American Factory, which won the Academy Award, Becoming, nominated for the Emmy Award, and, Crip Camp, which won the 2021 International Documentary Association award for Best Feature. And this announcement builds on these existing projects.</p>
<p>Barack Obama and Michelle Obama founded <strong>Higher Ground Productions</strong>. Priya Swaminathan, Tonia Davis, Ada Chiaghana, and Alex Pitz are co-leading the <span style="color: #596172;">company</span>. They aim to tell stories of the values that Obama has fought to concretize throughout their lives. These projects are the reflections of these values and their commitment to storytelling. There is also an expectation for <strong>Higher Ground</strong> to make more project announcements in the coming months.</p>
<p>“We created Higher Ground to tell great stories,&#8221; said old President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama.</p>
<p>&#8220;This group of projects builds upon that goal and the incredible path forged by films like Crip Camp, Becoming, and the Oscar-winning American Factory. From science fiction to the beauty of our natural world to the relationships that define us, Higher Ground continues to strive for fresh perspectives, compelling characters, and a healthy dose of inspiration. We couldn’t be more proud to team up with the brilliant artists behind each of these stories. Each of them has something important to say.” he continued.</p>
<p>Co-CEO and Chief Content Officer of Netflix, Ted Sarandos also spoke about how is working with Obama and his team.</p>
<p>“It has been thrilling to watch President Barack Obama, Michelle Obama and the Higher Ground team dive into original programming and produce incredible stories, American Factory, Crip Camp and Becoming have captivated audiences all around the world, and their new slate highlights the variety and depth of programming on the horizon as well as new and exciting storytellers,” Sarandos said.</p>
<p>Projects are currently in different stages of development. Their release dates will be possible over the next several years but not determined yet. And the titles given are working titles for now. They are down below:</p>
