Alex Stapleton Director Of Reggie On Prime Video

Reggie, an intimate and revealing new documentary that examines the career and legacy of Major League Baseball Hall of Famer and activist Reggie Jackson, premieres exclusively on Prime Video on March 24. The film is the definitive, firsthand account of five-time World Series Champion, beloved New York icon, and one of baseball’s most influential superstars as he contemplates his legacy as a trailblazing Black athlete fighting for dignity, respect, and a seat at the table. Over the course of his life and barrier-breaking career, Jackson 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 Julius “Dr. J” Erving, 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.Reggie is directed by Emmy award-winning documentary filmmaker Alex Stapleton. Alex’s credits include Showtime’s Shut Up and Dribble, which looked at the changing role of NBA athletes in our changing political and cultural environment, and Netflix’s The Playbook, which profiled legendary coaches as they shared their secrets for success in sports and life.
