Oscar-winning filmmaker Spike Lee is set to tackle an upcoming documentary series about former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
Lee on Wednesday was named the director of the multi-part series by ESPN, which originally announced the project last year.
“Kaepernick, who has never given a full, first-person account of his journey, is collaborating closely wit Lee who plans to use extensive new interviews and a vast never-before-seen archive to help Kaepernick tell his story from his perspective,” ESPN said in a statement.
