For years, Nadia Hallgren would say that her best experience as a documentary cinematographer was shaking Michelle Obama’s hand in Liberia while shooting the 2016 CNN Films project “We Will Rise,” about the first lady’s efforts to expand education for girls worldwide. So when Hallgren got invited to meet with Obama one-on-one in 2018 to discuss filming the book tour for her memoir “Becoming,” she tried to re-create their first encounter.
“I awkwardly stick out my hand, and from the nervousness, our fingers kind of like weirdly intertwined with each other,” Hallgren says with a laugh. “It was a terrible handshake. And she was like, ‘I’m a hugger.’ She gave me a big hug. It really cut through that nervousness.”
From that auspicious meeting came Hallgren’s debut as a feature documentary director, also titled “Becoming,” which premieres on Netflix on May 6 through the streamer’s exclusive partnership with...
