From Adam McKay's HyperObject Industries, Scott Jay Kaplan, and writer/director Mandon Lovett, Go Deep: The DeSean Jackson Story is built from an extraordinary archive--thousands of hours of raw home video footage shot across 35 years by DeSean's older brother Byron, a talented football player in his own right who spent two years on the Kansas City Chiefs practice squad before walking away from the game to pursue his true passion: filmmaking. What Byron captured, day after day, year after year, is far more than a football story. It is an intimate, unfiltered portrait of a father and his two sons--their bond, their sacrifices, their conflicts, and their shared pursuit of a better life.
