It’s been a long time coming, but the tale of President Barack and Michelle Obama’s romance in Sundance indie film ‘Southside With You’ is ready for the big screen.

In the film, Parker Sawyers plays the future president who takes a summer job at a Chicago law firm in 1989. That’s where he meets his boss — a young attorney named Michelle Robinson (played by the gorgeous Tika Sumpter) and they end up going on a date.

‘Southside With You’ was produced by John Legend and it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year to excellent reviews.

Watch the trailer below. Southside With You hits theaters on Aug. 19.
