Colin Kaepernick, a former NFL player, and activist is ready to share his tale with his love. Colin in Black & White, a new written limited series from Netflix, will feature him alongside Oscar-nominated filmmaker Ava DuVernay. The six-part series will focus on Kaepernick’s high school years, following his development as a football player and political activist. Colin in Black & White is a biographical miniseries made by Colin Kaepernick and Ava DuVernay for Netflix. ARRAY Filmworks, which previously worked on the Netflix crime drama The White Tiger, is in charge of the Original’s production.
Colin Kaepernick has become one of the essential characters in athletics due to his political activism in and outside of sports against race and class issues.
We’ve been waiting for more information since Netflix announced plans to develop a series based on Colin Kaepernick’s life, and it appears that the wait is almost over.

Eddie, Jake, and Coach Parker will be played by actors and actresses Amarr, Mace Coronel, and Howard M. Lockie, respectively.
Colin in black and white Plot
The half-hour series will direct on Kaepernick’s youth, including his time in high school and the coming-of-age partake that changed who he is now. The show will be narrated by the Super Bowl quarterback and racial justice activist, while Jaden Michael portrays a youthful version of the activist-athlete, Colin. It’s a really collaborative process, similar to how I approached working with the Exonerated Five on When They See Us,” she explained. We’re working on a nonlinear format, says the narrator of the show. You’ll notice that it’s not just a straightforward plot; it’s also nonlinear and genre-hopping. All of those discussions and experiments were carried out in collaboration.”
“Colin’s story has a lot to say about identity, sports, and the never-ending spirit of resistance and perseverance.” I’m ecstatic to be able to share this tale with the Netflix team.” We want to provide a fresh viewpoint on the various realities that Black people experience.” During my high school years, we discussed the racial problems I had as an adopted Black guy in a white community. It’s an honor to work with Ava to bring these stories to life for the world to see.”
To sum up, can we assume the plot will revolve around the Black Lives Matter movement? Yes, that’s going to be dope! I mean, this is the need of the hour…
Many people were roused to the heart of the problem of the events that caused Kaepernick’s nonviolent protest — a gesture intended to boost consciousness of such issues, not to humiliate the flag or the hymn — after George Floyd’s death, which sparked mass demonstrations over racial injustice and police abuse. Colin Kaepernick was essentially alone when he took a knee during the national anthem in 2016 to protest police brutality and racial injustice.
Politicians, team owners, and fellow players chastised him, and devotees glistened his jersey. He was even booed at home. His protest is widely seen as prophetic four years later.
More people are now demonizing individuals who target Kaepernick or distort his viewpoint due to the shift in public opinion. If Colin in black and white portrays such incidents, it will surely raise more awareness about these social issues than ever! We’re waiting for it.
