June 17th, 1994 2010 ★★★★½

Watched Aug 30, 2012

I was in Jr. High and living in the Greater Los Angeles area on this day and can remember the OJ chase taking up all of the nation's attention that day. This doc brought back a ton of memories as even the news footage that was shown was from the local news stations that I watched as a kid. I loved that this doc had no interview footage or talking heads giving opinions on what happened that day. Instead we are given a well edited immersion of the news in sports that day and how one event eclipsed them all and changed the world forever in how we now view the news, celebrity, and entertainment. For anyone who remembers the events of that day may still be chilled by the live footage and phone call of OJ threatening to kill himself and how we as a country sat glued to our televisions ready to witness the first live broadcasted suicide as the media captured it all for our entertainment...I mean...umm...concern.
