Anti-BLM Protesters Threaten To Disrupt Production On Colin Kaepernick's Netflix Series

Colin Kaepernick is back in the headlines, but sadly for not so great reasons. Anti-BLM protesters are now reportedly threatening to disrupt his Netflix drama series "Colin in Black and White."

If you have not heard about the show, which is being put together by Kaepernick and Emmy winner Ava DuVernay, the series will take a look at the adolescent life of Kaepernick, the things that he went through in high school, playing in the NFL and then his work as an activist.

There's no release date yet, but TMZ sports states that anti-BLM protesters are reportedly looking to do what they can to halt production.

Word is that executives on the project sent staff an email with measures to protect the cast and crew.

TMZ states there was supposed to be a protest at the location shoot last Friday. That protest did not end up taking place, but staff and crew were still concerned about the protesters.

The anti-BLM group that made the threat was the Proud Boys, according to TMZ.

Kaepernick was not on the set last week, which could be part of the reason the group decided to scrap the protest.

“With his act of protest, Colin Kaepernick ignited a national conversation about race and justice with far-reaching consequences for football, culture and for him, personally," DuVernay said when the project was announced.

“Colin’s story has much to say about identity, sports and the enduring spirit of protest and resilience. I couldn’t be happier than to tell this story with the team at Netflix.”

While no release date is on the table for "Colin in Black and White," Netflix has stated it remains one of the most highly anticipated releases for 2021 for the streaming service.
