Colin Kaepernick might be out of the game. But he is constantly working towards his aim of making a change. While his attempt to return to the NFL did not work, he changed his trajectory and shifted himself in a new direction. Kap is now a part of a new documentary project that will be released shortly. But a political strategist’s take has left everyone in a divided zone.
The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback recently launched the trailer of ‘Killing County’. It is a documentary series that would air on Hulu. Colin Kaepernick is the executive producer of the project, which would depict life in Bakersfield. The area is famous for being House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s district, which has intense crime and violence rates.

Everyone. And I mean everyone needs to watch this. I was a constituent of Kevin prior to the most recent redistricting. There are no words to describe how bad Bakersfield is.
