The six-part docu-series, hosted by Jay-Z, will combine documentary, animation and archival footage It will also feature diverse voices from immigrants, first-generation Americans and others. It will look at how race became “the most pressing issue in the nation” following the election, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

“National Geographic and Jay Z are the world’s foremost storytellers in their own right, and we’re thrilled to be working with them on such an evocative and meaningful project,” said Weinstein Company co-chairman Harvey Weinstein. “By using highly cinematic storytelling techniques along with Jay Z’s singular point of view, the series will tell a dramatic, thought-provoking story on race in America.”
