After Jackie<\/em>, a new two-hour documentary about the Black baseball players that followed in Jackie Robinson\u2019s footsteps, is slated to premiere on The HISTORY Channel in June.<\/p>\n

The doc tells the story of the second wave of talented Black baseball players that came after Robinson, including Bill White, Curt Flood and Bob Gibson, who were up next in the fight for racial equality. After Jackie<\/em> is set to premiere on The HISTORY Channel on June 18 during the 75th anniversary year of Robinson breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball.<\/p>\n

The film features interviews with White and Gibson, before his untimely passing, as well as former and current baseball players such as CC Sabathia, Mookie Betts, Ken Griffey Jr., Joe Torre, Dave Roberts, Al Downing and Tim McCarver, sports journalists and unlimited access to Major League Baseball\u2019s media archive that chronicles more than a century of baseball history, as well as rarely seen Jackie Robinson footage.<\/p>\n

LeBron James, Maverick Carter, Jamal Henderson and Philip Byron are executive producers for UNINTERRUPTED. Stanley Nelson is the executive producer for Firelight Films. Andre Gaines is executive producer and director. Eli Lehrer and Jim Pasquarella are executive producers for The HISTORY Channel. Nick Trotta is the executive producer for Major League Baseball. Matthew Rissmiller is the co-executive producer for UNINTERRUPTED.<\/p>\n
