In the summer of 2016, America was already teeming with social and political unrest. With the murders of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling, and the rise of the Black Lives Matter, the country was a powder keg primed for implosion or revolution. When Colin Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem in protest, it sent shockwaves through the culture, unwittingly launching the shy quarterback into the spotlight. KAEPERNICK & AMERICA chronicles Kaepernick’s early days as a bi-racial boy adopted by a white family through his remarkable ascent as star quarterback. As tensions rise, so does his racial and political awakening, setting the stage for his eventual role as a key figure in the BLM movement.
