Reggie Jackson Baseball Doco “Reggie” Premieres March 24 on Prime Video
On March 24, Reggie, an intimate and illuminating new documentary exploring the career and legacy of Major League Baseball Hall of Famer and activist Reggie Jackson, will premiere exclusively on Prime Video in over 240 countries and territories across the world.
This is Reggie Jackson’s story—his story—told in his own words, as he reflects on his legacy as a trailblazing Black athlete fighting for dignity, respect, and a seat at the table. Jackson has won five World Series rings, is a beloved New York icon, and is one of baseball’s most influential superstars. Throughout his life and ground-breaking profession, Jackson saw race relations in the United States undergo a sea change.
Beginning his career in Birmingham during the height of the civil rights movement, traveling to Oakland during the birth of the Black Panther Party, and then settling in New York City as baseball’s highest-paid player as the Bronx was burning. Now, with the world as a backdrop, he gets down with other superstars like Julius “Dr. J” Erving, Hank Aaron, Derek Jeter, and others to talk about their lives, how far we’ve gone, and the leagues they hope to leave behind for future generations.
“Coming off the recent success of our Coach Prime docuseries, we’re thrilled to bring our Prime Video customers back into the world and psyche of another iconic, larger-than-life sports figure with Reggie,” said Matt Newman, head of Prime Video Original sports content. “Reggie’s impact on the game of baseball has been defined as much by the work he has done off the field as his clutch heroics on the field, and we’re very proud to be working with this living legend to tell his authoritative story.”
Reggie is directed by Emmy award-winning documentary filmmaker Alexandria Stapleton, from BRON Studios, Delirio Films, and Red Crown Productions, in association with Creative Wealth Media. The documentary is produced by Christopher Leggett, Rafael Marmor, Daniel Crown, Yoni Liebling, and Alexandria Stapleton. The executive producers are Brenda Gilbert, Aaron L. Gilbert, Josh Miller, Kim Carsten, Zoë Morrison, Jason Cloth, and Suraj Maraboyina. Keith Loegering and Ryan Mooneyham are co-producers.
