Watch: First look at Netflix's new drama about young Barack Obama

The first trailer for Barry, an upcoming Netflix movie about a young Barack Obama, has been released - and it looks really good.

Starring newcomer Devon Terrell as Obama, Barry takes a look at the US President's life in 1981, when he firsts arrives in New York City to begin his junior year at Columbia University.

The movie is set to stream on Netflix on December 16 and looks like it will be filled with drama as a young Obama grapples with being pulled between various social spheres in a racially charged environment.
