After a difficult childhood, Vick’s athletic gifts led him to become the 2001 #1 draft pick and at one point in time, the highest paid player in the NFL.  However, misguided decisions cost him his lucrative contract, his freedom and much more.  Once released from prison, Vick found himself bankrupt and disconnected from the lives of his loved ones who had stood by him through thick and thin.  He also discovered that the society that had once revered him was now split down the middle.  Now, having signed a contract with the Philadelphia Eagles, Vick is back on track to repair his troubled past. He is reclaiming a prominent place in the NFL, while also revitalizing his badly damaged image in the community by becoming a spokesperson for the Humane Society.  The series, both serious in tone and nature, will create a gripping, poignant and intimate look inside the world of one of the most dynamic players in NFL history.

“I am not doing this documentary to show people that I’m back and unchanged by the experiences of the last few years,” said Vick.  “I’m allowing the cameras to see the truth – the good, the bad and the ugly results of my decisions – with the sincere hope that it will positively affect others’ lives and prevent someone out there from making the same mistakes I did.”

Watch it on BET in 2010.

Get an unprecedented look into the life of Michael Vick, with a new original docu-series that will follow an iconic and polarizing professional football player as he journeys on the road to redemption -- in both his personal and professional life.

THE MICHAEL VICK PROJECT premieres Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2010.

In this eight-part series, produced by DuBose Entertainment, MV7 Productions and Category 5 Entertainment, cameras will not only capture the NFL star’s return to football after a two-year prison term stemming from his association with a dogfighting ring, but they will also focus on much of his life prior to that turning point.  Viewers will be given an unfiltered and personal experience of Vick as he restores his past and starts fresh for the future – not only for himself, but for his family and fiancée, Kijafa.
