Now that the new year has begun, Barack Obama's presidency will soon be coming to an end. While the nation has focused on this particular chapter of his life, Obama's time before the White House is noteworthy as well. In fact, the early stages of his relationship with First Lady Michelle Obama were depicted in the August 2016 theatrical film Southside With You.
In December, Netflix explored his even earlier years in Barry, a 2016 biographical drama that follows the president's life when he attended Columbia University in the early 1980s. The film stars newcomer Devon Terrell as Barack Obama, as well as Jason Mitchell (Straight Outta Compton), Ellar Coltrane (Boyhood), Ashley Judd, and Jenna Elfman.
