In 2018, the Obamas signed a deal with Netflix to produce content for the streaming service via their production company, Higher Ground Productions. The company produced Oscar-winning documentary “American Factory” in February of this year. “Crip Camp,” also released this year, highlights a summer camp for teens with disabilities.
