Working: What We Do All Day is a four-part docuseries on Netflix produced by Higher Ground, a production company run by Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama. In the series, the former president and the series' filmmakers talk to workers in technology, hospitality and home care industries about what their workdays are like and the challenges of their jobs.

“We may not think about it, but we’re all a part of something larger than any single one of us,” Obama says via voiceover in the trailer. “And our work is one of the forces that connects us.”
