A young Colin Kaepernick charts his own course in the new trailer for the upcoming Netflix series, ‘Colin Black & White’
Jaden Michael plays the teenaged Kaepernick in the limited series, while Nick Offerman and Mary-Louise Parker portray his adopted parents. Kaepernick himself appears inas the present-day narrator guiding viewers through his own life story. “You don’t know Kaepernick until you know Colin,” Netflix added.
“I’m excited to share this first peek into a project I co-created with the incomparable Ava DuVernay over the past couple of years,” Kaepernick said in a statement. “I look forward to the world meeting the incredible Jaden Michael, a young actor who plays me during my high school years, just a kid growing up in Turlock, California, who wanted to play ball.”
“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 previously 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.”
“Too often we see race and black stories portrayed through a white lens,” Kaepernick added when the series was announced in June 2020. “We seek to give new perspective to the differing realities that black people face. We explore the racial conflicts I faced as an adopted black man in a white community, during my high school years. It’s an honor to bring these stories to life in collaboration with Ava for the world to see.
