What’s happening:

  • ESPN will air an encore presentation of the 30 for 30 documentary O.J.: Made in America over four nights in primetime from March 23-26.

  • Directed by Ezra Edelman, O.J.: Made in America explores these themes in tracing a personal journey, from how Orenthal James Simpson first became a football star, to why the country fell in love with him off the field, to his being accused of murdering his ex-wife, his subsequent acquittal and then ultimately serving a jail sentence for another crime.
