Kaepernick & America Cultures & Communities Festival Additional Details Runtime: 1 Hr. 22 Min. Rating: Release Year: 2022 Director: Tommy Walker, Ross Hockrow Producer: Bill Stephney, Gary Cohen, Matt McDonald Screenwriter: Christina Sun Kim, So Un Yum Cinematographer: Scott Beer Editor: Ross Hockrow Sponsored by: Summer 2016 - an election year combined with the murders of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile have stoked the flames of unrest. Then Colin Kaepernick took a knee and America lost its mind. Thoroughly examining both the man (a biracial adoptee raised by a white family) and his protest (a knee whose reverberations are still being felt to this day - see the 2020 Milwaukee Bucks), this is a documentary that moves beyond the headlines to lay bare the divides that persist.
