Netflix to Produce
Series on Colin Kaepernick.
According to the ‘The Hollywood Reporter,’
the six-episode series will
be called ‘Colin in Black & White.’.
Kaepernick will narrate the scripted limited drama, which comes from director Ava DuVernay.
‘Colin in Black & White’ is DuVernay’s latest project with Netflix following her acclaimed limited series, ‘When They See Us.’.
Netflix says Kaepernick’s series will focus
on his adolescent years while growing
up with a white adopted family.
It will also portray his high school life and events that led him to advocate for social justice.
‘THR’ adds that an actor will
play a younger version of
the now 32-year-old.
Colin’s story has much to say about identity, sports and the enduring spirit of protest and resilience. I couldn’t be happier than to tell this story with the team at Netflix, Ava DuVernay, via ‘THR’.
We’re proud to bring Colin’s experience and his creative vision to life as he joins Ava to share his powerful story and message with all our members around the world, Netflix’s Cindy Holland, via ‘THR’.
Kaepernick has remained unsigned in the NFL
since 2017, soon after he began kneeling
during the National Anthem.
Besides the upcoming Netflix show,
he is also working on a memoir
about his life experiences
