Spike Lee is set to direct a multi-part documentary for ESPN about the life and career of Colin Kaepernick.
According to a press release sent to Variety, the documentary will feature never-before-seen footage that will help Kaepernick tell his story from his own perspective. “Kaepernick, who has never given a full, first-person account of his journey, is collaborating closely with Lee, who plans to use extensive new interviews and a vast never-before-seen archive to help Kaepernick tell his story from his perspective.”
Even though a release date for the documentary has not been released yet, production has already begun. The documentary was originally announced in 2020 as a part of Kaepernick’s “first-look-deal” with Disney.
