Barack Obama has won the outstanding narrator Emmy Award for his narration of the Netflix documentary, “Our Great National Parks.”
The docuseries was created by Barack and Michelle Obama’s production company Higher Ground.



“Congrats to President Barack Obama who just became the first President to win a competitive Emmy for narrating Our Great National Parks,” Netflix tweeted on Saturday.

The series is focused on “shining a spotlight” national parks.

“After leaving office in 2017, the former president and his wife Michelle set up Higher Ground, striking a deal with Netflix said to be worth tens of millions of dollars,” the BBC reports.
