Netflix has released the much-awaited trailer for outgoing US President Barack Obama’s biopic film “Barry.”

The film, directed by Vikram Gandhi, is set in 1981 when a 20-year-old Obama transferred to New York’s Columbia University, where he studied college. As he matured and adapted himself to a lawless and cosmopolitan environment, Obama made friends with students from different walks of life, experienced being beaten, dated a white lady whom he had met in a bar and, most of all, aced his academic subjects. Also, he strained his relationships with his mother, estranged Kenyan father and close friends.
