The newly formed partnership between Disney and Kaepernick's production arm Ra Vision Media will focus on scripted and unscripted stories exploring race, social injustice and racial inequality, according to Disney, which noted the partnership would help showcase the work of Black and Brown directors and producers.
“During this unprecedented time, The Walt Disney Company remains committed to creating diverse and inclusive content that resonates and matters," Bob Iger, Disney’s executive chairman, said in a statement. "Colin’s experience gives him a unique perspective on the intersection of sports, culture and race, which will undoubtedly create compelling stories that will educate, enlighten and entertain, and we look forward to working with him on this important collaboration.
The former NFL star has become one of the most prominent voices for racial equality. Part of the Disney deal will be a docuseries about Kaepernick's life. The former Super Bowl quarterback was the first to kneel in protest of racial inequality and police brutality during the National Anthem.
The first-look deal will extend across all Walt Disney Platforms including Walt Disney Television, ESPN, Hulu, Pixar, and“I am excited to announce this historic partnership with Disney across all of its platforms to elevate Black and Brown directors, creators, storytellers, and producers, and to inspire the youth with compelling and authentic perspectives," Kaepernick said in a statement.
