More Details

Summary:

An essential examination of the rise and fall of Orenthal James Simpson, and parallels between his story with that of race in America. This series reveals how he first became a football star, why America fell in love with him off the field, what happened in the trial for his ex-wife's murder, and why he is now sitting in jail for another crime 20 years later.
