HBO will air a special in the fall based on Ta-Nehisi Coates’ best-selling book, Between the World and Me. The special features readings from the book, documentary and archival footage, and animation. Apollo Theater executive producer Kamilah Forbes will direct.
“Between the World and Me is written as a letter from Coates to his teenage son and describes the author’s experiences growing up in Baltimore and his growing fear of violence against the Black community.”
