Barack Obama's Daughter, Under the Name Malia Ann, is Presenting her Film at the Sundance Film Festival

Malia Obama, now professionally known as Malia Ann, is grabbing attention at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival with the premiere of her short film, “The Heart.” By changing her name, she demonstrates an effort to establish herself in the world of cinema.

A Harvard graduate with a degree in Visual and Environmental Studies, Malia has already proven herself on significant projects, including Donald Glover’s “Swarm” (2023) and HBO’s “Girls” (2012 -2017) showcasing her dedication to her craft. Nevertheless, some critics argue that a simple name change doesn’t conceal the fact that she is the daughter of former United States President Barack Obama.
