Spike Lee (Cred: Jason Bell/Rolling Stone)
Professor Spike Lee will direct and produce a multipart documentary for ESPN on Colin Kaepernick, featuring extensive interviews with the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback.
Kaepernick last played pro football in 2016, the same year he started kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial injustice. Although the NFL has encouraged teams to look at Kaepernick, he has yet to receive another pro contract. ESPN Films announced that Lee would weave never-before-seen footage from Kaepernick's archive to provide "a full, first-person account of his journey."
A title and release date have yet to be announced.
