Well, it was inevitable, but the Barack Obama movie in my head was going to star character actor Harry Lennix and that it would be a US-made TV movie or something. Well, Indonesia beat us to the punch! OBAMA THE MENTENG KID (Obama Anak Menteng) is a fictionalized film version of the young Obama when he lived in Jakarta from 1967 to 1971. According to Film Business Asia, the theatrical release was timed to coincide with the now President Obama’s planned visit to Indonesia, but he has had to cancel his trip there twice (thanks Healthcare Bill and BP)!

OMG! I thought I was the only one who was expecting a Harry Lennix type Obama movie. It looks good tbh with ya. As someone who has read “Dreams from my father” over and over again, the story isnt that hard to mess up. Barry could box for sho.
an Academy Award is inevitable… or a razzie
Just popping in to add to the Harry Lennix love. He would be perfect! (You heard me, Will Smith. Just take a step back now. You too, Denzel.)
