The timing of the latest ESPN “30 For 30” shorts, Judging Jewell, could not be any better. Just this week, it was announced that Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill would be joining forces again for the film version of this story of Richard Jewell. If you’re unfamiliar with the situation, this clip will fill in all the details regarding a man who found a bomb during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. Jewell was viewed as a hero throughout the nation, until he was later (falsely) implicated as a terrorist.
ESPN did a great job going into the story and even interviewing people that were directly involved with it. So although the film starting Leo and Jonah is most likely at least two years away from hitting the big screen, you can get a real taste of the story right now.
