Colin Kaepernick’s origin story is getting the Netflix treatment.
Colin Kaepernick’s origin story is getting the Netflix treatment — in the form of a 6-episode series based on the QB’s high school years.
Netflix says the scripted drama is called « Colin In Black & White » — which will address the issues Colin had growing up as a Black man in an adopted white family.
« Too often we see race and Black stories portrayed through a white lens, » Kaepernick said. « We seek to give new perspective to the differing realities that Black people face. »
Netflix says 32-year-old Kaepernick is working alongside Academy Award nominee Ava DuVernay on the project… and adds the script for the show was finished last month.
