Win O.J.: Made in America dvd - BFI

Expired

Win a copy of O.J.: Made in America from Peabody and Emmy-award winning director Ezra Edelman, courtesy of our friends at Dogwoof.
t is the defining cultural tale of modern America?— a saga of race, celebrity, media, violence and the criminal justice system. And two decades after its unforgettable climax, it continues to fascinate, polarize and even, yes, develop new chapters. From Peabody and Emmy-award winning director Ezra Edelman, it’s O.J.: Made in America.
O.J. revisits?— and redefines?— it all. The domestic abuse; the police investigation; the white Bronco chase; the trial of the century; the motive, the blood, the glove; the verdict; the aftermath. Drawing on more than seventy interviews?— from longtime friends and colleagues of Simpson to the recognizable protagonists of the murder investigation to observers and commentators with distinct connections to the story?— the docu-event is an engrossing, compelling and unforgettable look at a tantalising saga. Because at the end of what seems like a search for the truth about O.J. Simpson, what’s revealed just as powerfully is a collection of indelible, unshakeable and haunting truths about America, and about ourselves.
Released on DVD and Blu-ray on 17 April 2017.
To win a copy of this Oscar-winning documentary, simply email [email protected] with SIMPSON in the subject header by 31 March.
