<p>In recent times we have seen docuseries on some pretty prominent moments throughout history. Now a docuseries on Rodney King is currently in the works.</p>
<p>According to <em><a href="http://variety.com/2017/tv/news/revelations-entertainment-rodney-king-family-footage-1202030619/">Variety</a></em>, Morgan Freeman and Lori McCreary are developing a multi-part limited series on the life of Rodney King, through their company Revelations Entertainment.</p>
<p>They are partnering with director Sheldon Wilson, and they have acquired the rights to more than 20 hours of never-before-seen footage of Rodney King. The footage was filmed over a 12-year period before King’s death in 2012.</p>
<p>Through the footage shot by Dennis McDougal and Ira Abrams, the docuseries will explore King’s “youth with an alcoholic father, navigating behind-the-scenes turmoil during his civil trial, and his life post-trial dealing with his injuries and his status as a reluctant civil rights figure.”</p>
<p>Lori McCreary said to Variety, “Our company is about revealing the truth, and we thought this would be a great way to reveal the truth about who this man was. We’ve had such a narrow view of who he was. There’s so much more to the story. I’m excited to finally be able to reveal the truth.”</p>
<p>The project will be pitched to networks such as A&;E, Amazon, CNN, HBO and Netflix, within the coming weeks, with a targeted release date in 2018.</p>
