text: Barack Obama s life has undoubtedly been an interesting one and as the president winds down his second term in office and leaves the public eye, his presidency as well as the years before he became the most powerful man in the world will continue to garner interest in the American consciousness. One new movie attempts to satisfy that curiosity. Southside with You, a romantic dramedy, is based on the president s first date with Michelle in 1989 on Chicago s south side.Watch trailer here:[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erpUF2ToUls]A young Barack Obama, a recent graduate of Harvard, played by actor Parker Sawyers tries to win the heart of Michelle Robinson, played by actress Tika Sumpter.
