Sundance Film Festival

ESPN's new "30 for 30" documentary "O.J.: Made in America" is an incredible achievement in nonfiction storytelling.

The look at the rise and fall of O.J. Simpson, along with the strained race relations with the Los Angeles Police Department since the Civil Rights Movement, has moving interviews and archival footage that keep you on the edge of your seat for close to eight hours. 

For those who don't have the time to watch the entire documentary, or if you just want a refresher, here's a breakdown of all the highlights from the five-part docuseries.

You can watch the entire documentary on the Watch ESPN app or on iTunes.

PART 1: O.J. Simpson was born and raised in the Potrero Hill projects of San Francisco.

Simpson was a star athlete, but even at a young age he knew how to get his way out of trouble. He once stole his best friend's girlfriend.

In 1967, he entered the University of Southern California and became an instant star.
