"Thug e dhuinn a' chiad leasachadh maireannach ann an c貌irichean s矛obhalta bho 脿m a' Chogaidh Sh矛obhalta, agus bho chr矛ochnaich mi mo shreath Ball-Beusa ann an 1994, bha mi ag iarraidh film a dh猫anamh mun ghaisgeach Ameireaganach seo. Bha uimhir ri innse, cha b' ann a-mh脿in mu a shoirbheas an aghaidh sgaradh cinnidh ann an 1947, ach mar a leasaich 脿rach a' ghr脿in a bh' aige air claon-bhreith agus mar a ch霉m e air ag iomairt an aghaidh ana-ceartas cinneachail 脿s d猫idh dha a dhreuchd a leigeil dheth ged a bha e aig ciaradh a latha."

The story of Jack Roosevelt Robinson, who rose from humble origins to break baseball鈥檚 colour barrier and waged a fierce, lifelong battle for first-class citizenship for all African Americans that transcended even his remarkable athletic achievements.

鈥淛ackie Robinson is the most important figure in our nation鈥檚 most important game,鈥� said Ken Burns. 鈥淗e gave us our first lasting progress in civil rights since the Civil War and, ever since I finished my baseball series in 1994, I鈥檝e been eager to make a stand-alone film about the life of this courageous American."

The series goes through Robinson鈥檚 barrier-breaking moment in 1947, his upbringing that shaped his intolerance for any form of discrimination and his post-baseball career, during which he spoke out tirelessly against racial injustice.
