We watched the Colikn Kaepernick documentary - here’s our review.    According to Hyperallergic.com:   As the binary nature of its title suggests, Colin in Black & White feels split down the middle. Though it’s a reference to the polarized discourse around football player Colin Kaepernick, it also feels indicative of the nearly irreconcilable divide between its two modes of presentation. One has Kaepernick onscreen as a serious presenter, delivering information about both American history and his own life; the other has performers reenact that life as a coming-of-age comedy. The show aims to tie personal experience to the bigger picture of racism in American sporting institutions — and not only in the NFL, which continues to ostracize Kaepernick for exercising his right to protest (he’s not played in a game since 2017).
