13175062, I never followed the OJ case and don't care but

GODDAMN that Made in America doc is good film-making. Regardless of whatever issue someone might have with the spin or slant or whatever. It is REALLY good documentary film-making. I binge watched it recently and was completely engaged the entire 8 hours or whatever it is and I purposely knew NOTHING about the courtcase going in.

The tribalism surrounding the case is scary as shit to me. There were white people in Iowa CRYING when he was found not guilty (I had to pause the movie because I couldn't stop laughing at those images) There were gospel choirs singing OJ's name (had to pause again). I always thought whoever was invested THAT much in it, either way, has issues.... but I guess that's the point. I probably sound like the 'above it all' guy though. It's just really, really sad to me.
