It will premiere on June 17, when the U.S. president has scheduled a trip to visit the country. The story covers Obama's childhood in Jakarta, where he lived from ages 6 to 10. The 12-year-old playing Obama was born in America and moved to Indonesia when he was two. "It feels great to play Obama," the young actor said. Two of Obama's friends from his time in Indonesia are consulting on the film.
