Film director and producer Shelton “Spike” Lee said he is working on a Colin Kaepernick documentary series for ESPN that will show what he says is the football player’s real story.
“I’m working on my multi-series documentary on Colin Kaepernick for ESPN,” Lee told ET. “It’s his story, not the false narratives.”
Lee made the announcement while attending the second annual Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday.

“Six years the National Football League has stopped him from playing,” Lee added. “He still gets up at 4 or 4:30 every morning to train, five to six days a week. So when that next phone call comes, he’ll be ready. He’ll be ready.”
A release date for the documentary series has yet to be announced.
“Well, it’ll probably be out before [Kaepernick] plays [again],” Lee said.
