I’ve suggested OJ:Made in America as a documentary for the younger set who can’t quite grasp how riveting the case was for the American public at the time. On a different note, I’m not at all certain the social scientists have fully explored the reaction of certain groups to the jury’s decision (in the face of the evidence) and long term effects of that reaction. The jury validated all the movies and stories about the corrupt/racist LAPD, which was an eye-opener for me. Turns out there was a hard societal cost of the mistreatment of minorities, that expressed itself in the verdict, imo. Only two years after the cops on video beating Rodney King were acquitted. Doesn’t make it right, but it’s an explanation.
