Moviegoers will get to take a stroll down memory lane with Barack and Michelle Obama in the new film Southside With You.

Nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance Film Festival, the movie chronicles the summer of 1989 when the future President takes the future First Lady on a first date.

Tika Sumpter and Parker Sawyers play the couple as their relationship develops on Chicago’s South Side, where the family still has a home.

The tale takes viewers from the couple’s daytime date at the Art Institute of Chicago to a screening of Spike Lee’s Do The Right Thing.

Produced by John Legend, the film is scheduled to be released nationwide on August 26th.
