Former United States President Barack Obama has released his annual year-end favourite lists which features his favourite books, music playlist and films from 2019.
On Sunday, Barack Obama shared a list of his favourite films and TV shows of 2019 on his Facebook page:
“This year’s list includes everything from explorations of class dynamics and relationships, to an inspired reboot of a classic graphic novel, to a portal back to one of the most special places in history — an Aretha Franklin concert.”
Also featured on the list is “American Factory” a Netflix film from Barack and Michelle Obama’s production company, Higher Ground, that was recently shortlisted for an Oscar.
