"I'm excited to share this first peek into a project I co-created with the incomparable Ava DuVernay over the past couple of years," added Kaepernick. "I 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."
