Netflix has shared exclusive photos for its forthcoming limited series, Colin in Black & White. <\/em>Premiering on October 29th, the show chronicles activist and former NFL star Colin Kaepernick\u2019s coming-of-age story as he grappled with race, class, and identity as a Black adopted child within a white family.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jaden Michael stars as young Colin, while Nick Offerman and Mary-Louise Parker play his parents Rick and Teresa. Kaepernick narrates his own story and takes viewers through \u201ca robust and colorfully presented array of historical and contemporary contextual moments.\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The series was created and is executively produced by Ava DuVernay and Colin Kaepernick. \u200b \u201c<\/strong>I\u2019m excited to share this first peek into a project I co-created with the incomparable Ava DuVernay over the past couple of years,\u201d said Kaepernick in a statement. \u201cI 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.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with <\/strong>EW<\/strong><\/a>, Michael expressed why his role was so monumental in sharing Kaepernick\u2019s story. “A lot of stresses come with a project of this magnitude,” he said. “These conversations need to be had. On the forefront of my mind was, do I want to attack these conversations, or do I want to sort of make an experience for everyone? I found that I think it’s most important for people who don’t agree with Colin to find a safe place to watch something interesting and informative where they can redo their research and try and understand Colin from a different perspective.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
