Jim Brown: A Football Life

Jim Brown is often hailed as the greatest running back of all time. But while he has an impressive highlight reel, numerous awards, and an established presence in the NFL record book, Brown also contributed significantly off the field in the area of racial equality in both sports and entertainment. Brown has never been afraid to stand up for what he believes in, and this dominant personality has proven an asset to his pioneering movements even today; his Amer-I-Can Program works with individuals, including gang members, to empower and help them achieve their fullest potential.

Narrated by Emmy-nominated actor Josh Charles, Jim Brown: A Football Life dives deep into Brown's dominance on the field as well as the personality attributes that make him such an impactful figure. He claims to have used his frustration toward racial inequality to fuel his determination on the field and used this motivation to pioneer racial progress in the entertainment sector as well. During his playing career, Brown formed powerful bonds over social activism with notable athletes such as Muhammad Ali and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and has continued his activism today.

Among the topics discussed in Jim Brown: A Football Life are:

- The racial inequality Brown faced at Syracuse that kept him from starting until his All-American senior year.
- Brown being drafted by the Browns and earning League MVP, rushing title, All-Pro honors, and more in his rookie season.
- The racism and inequality Brown faced off the field in his personal life even after achieving fame and recognition.
- Brown's relationship with famed boxer Muhammad Ali and their joint social activism against the Vietnam War.
- Brown's retirement in the prime of his career and subsequent career in the movie industry.
- Brown's current social activism efforts, including his Amer-I-Can Program, and helping gang members to rehabilitate their lives.
