S9 E5: The Legacy of the O.J. Trial — The Producer and Director of O.J.: Made in America — Part 2

Season 9, Ep. 5

This week, in recognition of the death of O.J. Simpson last Wednesday, April 10, we are reaching into the archives of Crime Story Media to present a series of special interviews related to the way that the historical narrative of Simpson’s trial for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman has been preserved for posterity.


Today, we present Part Two of Kary Antholis’s two-part conversation with Ezra Edelman, Producer and director of the Oscar and Emmy winning, ten hour documentary O.J.: Made in America.


During this part of the conversation, they discuss Ezra’s editorial process, the most essential interviews of the film, the cultural impact of the documentary, the responses of some of the interview subjects to the project as well as some questions from the students in the class where the interview was conducted.
