Derek Jeter recalls racism he experienced in his childhood while growing up in The Captain<\/em>.<\/p>\n

This Sunday, the Tribeca Film Festival hosted the world premiere of\u00a0<\/a>The Captain,\u00a0<\/em>a seven-part documentary series made to explore Derek Jeter’s life both on and off the baseball field. The New York Yankees also showed the first two episodes at the Yankee Stadium on July 8th. Director Randy Wilkins said the docuseries aimed to “discover the man behind the iconic Yankees No. 2 jersey,” and help show why he is not just a great baseball player, but also a societal icon, as he wanted to show how he shaped New York City’s culture.<\/p>\n
