Back in July, LeBron James opened a new school in collaboration with Akron Public Schools and the LeBron James Family Foundation to offer education and support to underprivileged students, as well as new opportunities for their parents and families.
Now, just four months later, Akron Public Schools has approved a deal with a New York City production company to produce a feature-length documentary on the first year of the groundbreaking facility.
According to The Akron Beacon Journal, the new deal is in collaboration with Blowback Productions, which has produced over 20 films, including “Cadillac Records,” “SLAM” and “WhiteBoyz,” most of which have focused on “race, drugs and crime.”
As for the I Promise documentary, which is already in production, the film will look to capture “the successes, struggles and endeavors” of students at the newly formed school.
