Colin Kaepernick will be featured in a documentary series produced by ESPN Films as part of a first-look deal with The Walt Disney Co.
The deal between Kaepernick’s production arm, Ra Vision Media, and The Walt Disney Company was announced Monday.
The partnership will focus on telling scripted and unscripted stories that explore race, social injustice and the quest for equity.
It will also provide a platform to showcase the work of directors and producers of color.
In a statement, Kaepernick said, “I am excited to announce this historic partnership with Disney across all of its platforms to elevate Black and Brown directors, creators, storytellers, and producers, and to inspire the youth with compelling and authentic perspectives. I look forward to sharing the docuseries on my life story, in addition to many other culturally impactful projects we are developing.”
