DOCUMENTARY: OJ: Made in America
On: BBC 4
Date: Sunday 14th May 2017
Time: 21:00 to 22:30
A Storyville documentary: Five-part series and winner of the 2017 Academy Award for Best Documentary chronicling the rise and fall of OJ Simpson. To many observers, the story of the crime of the century is a story that began the night Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were murdered outside her Brentwood condominium. But as the first episode lays bare, to truly grasp the significance of what happened not just that night, but the chronicle to follow, one has to travel back to points in time long before that. To generations prior, when African-Americans began migrating to California en masse, trying to outrun the racism that had defined their lives. To the late 1960s, when OJ Simpson rose to instant fame as a running back for the USC Trojans. To the early 1970s, when he expanded that fame in the NFL, emerging as one of the most visible faces in sports. And to a few years after that, when he returned to Los Angeles - his acting, advertising, and broadcasting careers in ascendance.
