O.J.: Made in America

O.J.: Made in America (2016) is Ezra Edelman's five-part documentary — nearly eight hours that you can watch online on iFILM. What reads on the surface as the story of O.J. Simpson is really a dissection of how race, celebrity and police violence turned a murder trial into a referendum on America itself.

Edelman goes back to the beginning: Simpson's rise through college football, his NFL stardom, his deliberate move into white Hollywood while keeping distance from Black Los Angeles — a distance that became combustible the moment he sat in a courtroom in 1994. The killing of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, the months of televised testimony, the jury's not-guilty verdict that split the country along lines it had never confronted so plainly — all of it reconstructed through first-hand accounts, court records and footage that feels like it was shot yesterday.

The film claimed the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature. That award understates it. Edelman built something closer to a national autopsy than a crime story — patient, relentless, and genuinely troubling long after the credits roll. Stream O.J.: Made in America (2016) online on iFILM.
