Former US President Barack Obama's production debut 'American Factory' won the Academy Award for the Best Documentary feature on Sunday. The film's directors Julia Reichert, Steven Bognar and Jeff Reichert were all smiles as they lifted the trophy at the award ceremony.

Reichert, who is currently battling cancer, took the moment to honour her fellow nominees and all those who were a part of the film. This documentary marks the first movie produced by Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama's Higher Ground Productions.
