Channel 4 To Explore Ivanka Trump's Relationship With Father

News Image
Channel 4 has commissioned a new one-hour documentary exploring the background of Ivanka Trump, the daughter to US President Donald Trump.

Produced by ITN Productions, Ivanka Trump: America's Real First Lady (w/t) will delve deeper into the background of the President's most famous daughter. The documentary will explore the relationship between 35-year-old Ivanka and her father - who really is Ivanka Trump and how much influence does she have over the Oval Office? Is she the de facto First Lady? How does Ivanka fit in to the Trump narrative?.

Commissioned by Tom Porter, the show will see Matt Frei travel to the United States to examine how Ivanka aligns her #womenwhowork campaigns with her father's apparent misogyny, and whether or not she has her eyes on the bigger prize of the highest seat in politics for herself.

Tom Porter said: "President Trump's daughter has emerged as a major force in his administration and, increasingly, it would seem, in world politics. Matt Frei's razor sharp insight allows this entertaining film to analyse what makes Ivanka tick and ultimately ask could this be the first female president in training."

Adam Vandermark, ITN Productions Executive Producer, said: "It's clear President Trump invests a lot of trust in Ivanka, along her husband Jared Kushner. They've emerged as Washington's ultimate power couple. But how did this very close father-daughter relationship develop, and what does it mean for the dynamics of the Trump Presidency? Matt Frei delivers a fascinating insight into Donald Trump's eldest daughter, and finds out if she has her eye on the ultimate prize – the Oval Office eventually for herself."
Ivanka Trump: America's Real First Lady (w/t) will air later this month.
