"This has demonstrated in a way—it’s just like, damn, those eight years weren't for nothing. You know?" Malia tells her mother. "You see that huge crowd out there and that last kind of speech you gave about—people are here because people really believe in hope and hope in other people."
Malia and her younger sister, Sasha, 18, both made rare appearances and provided brief interviews for the Netflix documentary to speak about how they view their mother's inspiring dedication toward others.
"I'm excited for her to be proud of what she's done, because I think that that's the most important thing for a human to do, is be proud of themselves," says Sasha.
Becoming begins streaming May 6 on Netflix.
