"Barack Obama: The Man and His Journey," narrated by thesp Blair Underwood, will be released on Jan. 20 to coincide with Obama's inauguration.
It's the first DVD release from Los Angeles-based Codeblack, headed by producer Jeff Clanagan.
Linda Johnson Rice, chairman and CEO of Ebony/Jet parent Johnson Publishing, said the partnership was designed to tap into "ongoing growth opportunities within the African-American community and beyond."
Following the Obama disc will be another docu, "Why We Laugh: Black Comedians on Black Comedy." It will feature interviews with Bill Cosby, Chris Rock and Keenen Ivory Wayans, among others.
