this documentary is so good

covers everything from his beginnings as a youngster, to the "I'm not Black, I'm OJ  :watchit:  " era
 to him finding out his father was gay when daddy opened his door with a towel on and his lover behind him  ....

to the LA riots , the killing of Latasha Harlins, and digs deep into how the unrest in LA played a big role in the case

to him dressing up in Kwanzaa attire after he was lashed and exiled from the Brentwood Hills.
its so multi-dimensional. amazing piece of work.

grab some snacks. you'll be glued a bit. and thank me later :woohoo:

Significant Discovery: First known Black American family of Kalmyk descent

Takeaways: Be prepared to pivot, even when you think you're on the right track. Be OK with being wrong so you can get things right.

Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people who settled in Russia. It's estimated that only 300,000 Kalmyk descendants exist worldwide - with only 3,000 in America.
