O.J.: Made in America (2016)
Director: Ezra Edelman
The Pitch: “The make a documentary like ‘Making a Murderer’ but with the most famous murder trial in American history!”
No Tagline.
The Overview: Beware of Spoilers…
An amazing documentary that explores in detail the trial of OJ Simpson for the murders of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman as well as the history of the years leading up to the murders. And not just the history of OJ and Nicole, but also the United States – the evolution of civil liberties, the reputation of the LA police, the rise of O.J. Simpson’s celebrity as a sports and movie star and how these different factors came together to create a climate that gave us the OJ Simpson murder trial.
The documentary takes us past the criminal trial to the civil trial, OJ’s life following it and the subsequent activities and trial that cost OJ Simpson his freedom.
