Plot Synopsis

O.J.: MADE IN AMERICA is a five-night miniseries event that explores the themes of race and celebrity, tracing a personal journey from how Orenthal James Simpson first became a football star...to why America fell in love with him off the field...to his being accused of murdering his ex-wife and his subsequent acquittal...to why he is now sitting in jail for another crime 20 years later. His is a story of how a black man gained acceptance in white America and became one of the first crossover stars. "I'm not black, I'm OJ," he famously said. But after the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, OJ became the personification of blackness, a man who used his race to be set free by a criminal justice system historically stacked against African-Americans...a man whose acquittal divided America like few things before or since.
