Trailer on new Netflix doc on Mitt Romney shows him ironing a suit that he's still wearing

A two-minute trailer on an upcoming Netflix documentary on Mitt Romney's unsuccessful run for the White House has been creating a buzz on the Internet today. It's directed by Greg Whiteley, who it's reported is a longtime Romney family friend. Based on the some of the scenes shown in the trailer, Whiteley absolutely was granted unprecedented access to the 2012 GOP nominee for president.

The compelling footage begins with a scene inside the Boston hotel where Romney realizes he is not going to be the next president of the United State on election night in 2012. It also includes a shot where Romney is ironing part of a shirt - a shirt that's he wearing.

"Mitt" is scheduled to be released on Netflix on January 24.
