 ESPN Caribbean will air ESPN Films’ most ambitious project to date, “O.J.: Made in America,” premiering on ESPN Caribbean Monday, June 20 at 8 p.m. ET and ESPN2 Caribbean Monday, July 11 at 8 p.m. ET. The film is a five-part 30 for 30 documentary directed by Peabody & Emmy-award winning director Ezra Edelman and the first documentary-event by ESPN Films.

“O.J.: Made in America” explores race and celebrity in 20th-century America, taking a close look at how Orenthal James Simpson became a football star, why the country fell in love with him off the field, his being accused of murdering his ex-wife, his subsequent acquittal and why he is sitting in jail 20 years later for another crime.
