Colin Kaepernick and Ava DuVernay team up for Netflix series.
"We seek to give new perspective to the differing realities that Black people face," he said."We explore the racial conflicts I faced as an adopted Black man in a white community, during my high school years."
Kaepernick said he was honored to work with DuVernay, the first black female director to be Oscar-nominated for a documentary, saying that too many stories about race and Black people were told through a"white lens". "With his act of protest, Colin Kaepernick ignited a national conversation about race and justice with far-reaching consequences for football, culture and for him personally," DuVernay, the filmmaker behind"Selma" and"13th," said in a statement.
"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."
