It kind of feels like 1994 all over again with all the recent attention the O.J. Simpson trial is getting thanks to the FX series, “The People v. O.J. Simpson”. While that show just ended, anyone who wants more is about to get it in an even better way. ESPN released the trailer for their upcoming 30 for 30 documentary, “O.J. Made In America” and it already has the feel that it is going to be just as addicting as the FX series was.

“It is a much bigger story, one that explores O.J.’s life and how race and his pursuit of celebrity shaped it … while at the same time documenting the racial dynamics of L.A. and the relationship between its police force and black citizens – a relationship thrust front and center into the discussion of the murders, and one that proved a vital determinant in the outcome of the trial.”
ABC audiences can catch the first of five parts in the seven-and-a-half-hour long documentary during its 9 p.m. ET premiere June 11.
ESPN will then air the complete series beginning June 14.
