An unctuous documentary-style short film focusing on Vice President Kamala Harris is all set to hit theaters less than a month before the national election.
Titled KAMALA, the Samir Zakir and Gerard Pizarro-directed movie, which is largely uncritical of the presidential candidate, will focus on bringing the ‘untold stories and personal sacrifices’ of Harris’ life to fans.
Releasing on October 25, the film will feature commentary and interviews by CNN’s Bakari Sellers and Michelle Bernard of MSNBC – both of whom have shown great support for the Democratic Party nominee.
Viewers can also expect to see Harris be a ‘primary front-facing storyteller’ and watch an exclusive interview about her presidential campaign.

‘KAMALA is a documentary short film capturing Kamala Harris’s underdog journey, intertwining her meteoric rise with themes of resilience and her commitment to justice and the wellbeing of all,’ Zakir told DailyMail.com.
He added: ‘The purpose of this film is to tell her story through a unique lens – humanizing Kamala Harris by diving into her underdog story – told by underdog filmmakers.
‘The unique lens ties her personal and professional journey with her commitment to elevating the wellbeing for all. It’s a compelling message that makes sense!’
A short trailer of the film also shows snippets of the Vice President’s childhood, her Indian and Jamaican roots and her interviews with celebrities including Drew Barrymore and Mindy Kaling.

News of this short film comes days after Golden Globe nominee was seen embodying GOP candidate Donald Trump in a new clip from controversial biopic, The Apprentice.
Stan, 42, transformed into a younger version of the businessman and former President for a scene with Jeremy Strong as Trump’s disgraced — and eventually disbarred — lawyer Roy Cohn.
The film follows Trump in the ’70s and ’80s as he attempts to establish his real estate empire on the back of his father Fred Trump’s properties.
