COLIN IN BLACK AND WHITE is a bold new dramatic limited series that chronicles Colin Kaepernick’s coming-of-age story, tackling the obstacles of race, class and culture as the Black adopted child of a white family. COLIN IN BLACK AND WHITE stars Jaden Michael as Young Colin before reaching the highest levels of American football as an NFL quarterback and becoming a cultural icon and activist; Nick Offerman and Mary-Louise Parker as his well-meaning parents Rick and Teresa; and Colin Kaepernick himself, who appears as the present-day narrator of his own story, guiding viewers through a robust and colorfully presented array of historical and contemporary contextual moments.
