O.J Simpson was suspected of murdering his ex-wife Nicole Simpson, and he was abruptly reminded that he was a Black man in America. The trial of OJ Simpson became headline news and divided the nation and the world.

"O.J. Simpson: Skin Deep" looks at O.J. Simpson's trial and criminal acquittal against the backdrop of the Rodney King incident and racial unrest that had taken place in Los Angeles just a few years earlier.

Possessed of athletic skill, looks and charisma, O.J Simpson rose from a project in San Francisco to become first a top NFL athlete and subsequently a Hollywood star with fans across all races. But the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson in 1994 made him a prime suspect and resulted in an arrest (following a widely watched live highway car chase) and subsequent highly viewed trial that unleashed national conversations about the intersection of race, celebrity, and wealth with criminal justice.
