Mathew Knowles, manager and father of Beyonce and Solange will bring his life story to the screen.

Knowles has teamed up with production company Say Unkel Entertainment to adapt his 2017 autobiography Racism From the Eyes of a Child into both a feature film and a miniseries, according to Variety.

The film will cover the first half of his book and chronicle the difficult early years of Knowles growing up in the midst of race riots in early 1960s Alabama. He was one of six black students attending an all-white school, participating in peaceful protests where, on one occasion, he was arrested four times in one day.

It is noted that his youthful struggles have been captured in many of Beyoncé’s works, most recently in her motion picture “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé.”

The book describes how the champions of the struggle for equality—Martin Luther King Jr., Albert Turner, Ralph Abernathy—shaped him in his early adulthood.

“These are the men who made me proud and the women who taught me to fight back,” Knowles told Variety.

Robert Unkel, former vice president of programming at 20th Century Fox, said the script for the film based on Knowles’ book is complete and ready to go to market. He will oversee the development of the film along with the producer of the original “Star Wars” trilogy Howard Kazanjian.
