Tha Jackie Robinson, air a sti霉ireadh le Ken Burns, Sarah Burns agus David McMahon, ag innse sgeulachd Jack Roosevelt Robinson, aig an robh toiseach iriosal, ach a chuir cr矛och air sgaradh cinnidh ann am ball-beusa agus a rinn iomairt airson co-ionnanachd do dh'Ameireaganaich Afraganach a bharrachd air na choilean e mar l霉th-chleasaiche.

"'S e Jackie Robinson an neach as cudromaiche san sp貌rs as motha nar d霉thaich," arsa Ken Burns. "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."

Jackie Robinson, directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Burns and David McMahon, tells 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 transcends 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 standalone film about the life of this courageous American.

"There was so much more to say not only about Robinson鈥檚 barrier-breaking moment in 1947, but about how his upbringing shaped his intolerance for any form of discrimination and how after his baseball career, he spoke out tirelessly against racial injustice, even after his star had begun to dim.鈥�
