A trio of superstars are about to drop a new documentary series called Magnify that'll premier November 26th on Fox.
LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chance the Rapper are the executive producers in what will be an “exploration of athletes” on and off the playing fields and surfaces that help unify sport and the surrounding communities.
Many athletes struggle and face challenges in growing up in low-income areas, but use sports as an outlet to escape the reality of their neighborhoods.
The first episode will feature a high school football team in St. Louis called 89 Blocks that will soely be produced by LeBron and Maverick Carter, James’ business partner since 2006.
The second episode is titled A Shot in the Dark will be produced by the Los Angeles Media Fund, Wade, and Chance. The team profiled is a high school basketball club in Wade and Chance’s hometown of Chicago.
It’s pretty cool to see the three producers to shine the light untold stories that deserve exposure from James, Wade and Chance, three individuals that see a ton of spotlight giving who they are. It’ll be interesting to see how it all plays out considering the three haven’t had much experience in producing roles in the past.
