The O.J. Verdict (2005)
On October 3, 1995, an estimated 150 million people stopped what they were doing to witness the televised verdict of the O.J. Simpson trial. For more than a year, the O.J. saga transfixed the nation and dominated the public imagination. Ten years later, veteran FRONTLINE producer Ofra Bikel revisits the "perfect storm" that was the O.J. Simpson trial. Through extensive interviews with the defense, prosecution and journalists, FRONTLINE explores the verdict -- which, more than any other in recent history, measured the difference between being white and black in America.
The Torture Question (2005)
The 9/11 attacks lead to a “get-tough” policy for the U.S. government. FRONTLINE examines how this harsh new standard for torture worked its way around the globe and down to the cell blocks of Abu Ghraib.
The Last Abortion Clinic (2005)
The abortion debate rages on in the U.S. as laws regulating women’s access to abortion flip in each state. In what direction is the country headed on its abortion policies – diminishing options state by state, or access for all?
The Storm (2005)
In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, FRONTLINE will produce a documentary special that investigates the political storm surrounding the devastation of America's Gulf Coast. Veteran FRONTLINE producer/reporter Martin Smith will lead a team to ask hard questions about the decisions leading up to the disaster and beyond.
