Filmmaker Ezra Edelman talks about his seven-and-a-half-hour O.J. Simpson documentary, "O.J.: Made in America," premiering on ESPN and ABC June 11. The project involved finding, managing and piecing together a huge amount of archival footage.

"The whole film is about who we are and what we bring to these stories and how we look at them," explains Edelman. "I have a distinct way of looking at this story and then by the same token in terms of what the final product is – every person that worked on the film, especially the editors — how much something is driven by what goes on creatively inside these people’s heads."

PBS' POV documentary series will be streaming 100 free short and feature-length documentaries this summer, with a special spotlight on documentaries directed by women. 

The streaming documentaries include "Love and Diane," "George Girl," "15 to Life," "After Tiller," and more. 

The films are available on pov.org/video as well as the POV channel of the PBS app.

Jessica Kiang interviews Noah Baumach and Jake Paltrow about Brian DePalma, the subject of new documentary "DePalma." Oh, and DePalma was also there to weigh in on DePalma.

"The more you talk to Brian, the more valuable this stuff is," explains Paltrow, "and at a certain point, we just thought, 'It must be recorded!' Even just for us — selfishly at first. And then when we started doing it, we realized that 50% of this really is the delivery. The way it's being told. That itself is so alive, that it's its own movie, kind of besides the content of what he's giving us."

Anybody who follows the news has likely seen more of sext-loving former congressman Anthony Weiner than they would prefer, so it's difficult to imagine there would be anything further on the subject worth watching. But the documentary film "Weiner" from directors Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg offers a compelling take on the portion of the politician's career after his first sexting scandal—from his effective PR rehabilitation and entry into the New York mayoral race to his humiliating and mostly self-imposed second downfall. The history of politics is full of similar stories, but it's quite rare for an audience to get to see the person at the center of the controversy reacting to events as they occur.
