5-time World Series Champion, beloved New York icon, and one of baseball’s first and most influential superstars, Reggie Jackson contemplates his legacy as a trailblazing black athlete fighting for dignity, respect, and a seat at the table in this intimate and revealing new documentary. Over the course of his life and barrier-breaking career, Reggie witnessed a dramatic shift in race relations across America: Starting his career in Birmingham at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, moving to Oakland during the rise of the Black Panther Party, and landing in New York City as the highest-paid player in baseball as the Bronx was burning. Now, against the backdrop of today’s increasingly divided world, he sits down with fellow legends Dr. J, Hank Aaron, Derek Jeter, and more to discuss their own experiences, how far we’ve really come, and the leagues they want to leave behind for future generations.
