Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>It was all joy for Colin Kaepernick on Thursday at the premiere of “Colin in Black and White,” which premiered on Netflix on Friday OCT 29.<\/p>\n

The NFL athlete\u2019s formative years is depicted in the new Netflix miniseries, directed by Academy Award nominee Ava DuVernay who also served as the producer for the show.<\/p>\n

Ava shed more light on the message the series carries. She explained the series focuses on Kaepernick\u2019s adolescent years, when he was living with his white adoptive parents and soon realised the ways in which society would treat him differently.<\/p>\n

Actor director Regina King who was present at the premiere believes its time attention is given to some notable individuals who carry such a message.<\/p>\n

Rising star Jaden Michael takes the lead role in this autobiographical series, playing American athlete Colin Kaepernick in his teenage years.<\/p>\n

The series will consist of six episodes, clocking in at 30 minutes each.<\/p>\n

The story was co-written Ava DuVernay, alongside Kaepernick and Emmy nominee Michael Starrbury.<\/p>\n

Kaepernick found himself at the center of a media storm in 2016, when he and his San Francisco teammate Eric Reid made a decision to kneel as the US national anthem played.<\/p>\n

The move was to call attention to racial inequality and police brutality, an issue that became popular in summer 2020 following the murder of George Floyd and subsequent global protests.<\/p>\n
