Mathew Knowles' Memoir to be Adapted into Film and Series

The project will cover Beyoncé's father's early life and experiences during the civil rights movement in Alabama.

Beyoncé’s father, Mathew Knowles, is set to have his life story adapted into a feature film and a limited series by Say Unkel Entertainment, based on his 2017 memoir 'Racism From the Eyes of a Child'.
The film will cover Knowles’ early life growing up in Alabama during the civil rights movement, where he was one of six black students at an all-white school and was involved in peaceful protests.
Knowles' memoir recounts his experiences of racial unrest, including being burned by a cattle-prod and arrested multiple times in a single day.
Knowles, who managed Destiny’s Child and has worked with artists like Chaka Khan and Earth, Wind & Fire, has also been involved in his younger daughter Solange’s career.
The script for the feature film is complete and ready to be taken to market, with Robert Unkel, a former vp of programming at 20th Century Fox, overseeing the project’s development.
