Acclaimed film director Ava Duvernay, whose projects include “The 13th," “When They See Us," and "Selma”, is behind a new Netflix series called "Colin in Black and White.” It is the coming of age story of Colin Kaepernick, years before he became a quarterback in the NFL, and a leader in the fight for racial justice. Amna Nawaz spoke with DuVernay about it for our arts and culture series, CANVAS.
