Behind the five-episode series is Obama’s production company “Higher Ground” and the theme is national parks around the world.
Among the nominees were David Attenborough, Lupita Nyong’o and Kareem Abdul Jabbar.
After Dwight Eisenhower, who won the Emmy in 1956, Barack Obama is the second US president to win the award.
The award-winning series showcases natural beauty from five continents and important locations such as Indonesia and Patagonia.
Barack Obama and his wife Michelle are the founders of the production company “Higher Ground”, which signed a contract with “Netflix”, worth, it is speculated, tens of millions of dollars.
Obama received the “Emmy” after receiving two “Grammys” – for the audio version of the memoirs The Audacity of Hope and Dreams of My Father. Now he is halfway to becoming an “EGOT” – a person who received awards: “Emmy”, “Grammy”, “Oscar” and “Tony”.
