Who Really Killed Michael Jordan’s Father? A New Documentary Attempts to Find Out.
GQ, March 31, 2021: Who Really Killed Michael Jordan’s Father? A New Documentary Attempts to Find Out.
“The first thing you notice about Moment of Truth, Matthew Perniciaro’s five part investigative documentary series about the murder of Michael Jordan’s father James in 1993, is the abundance of revealing archival material. In the first episode, there’s James in a black and white still, in private with a smiling Michael, their intimacy jumping off the screen. By the end of the same episode we see Daniel Green, one of two men convicted for Jordan’s murder, rapping into a camera while wearing one of Michael’s All-Star rings. Tapping into a buried vault of footage from the North Carolina broadcast company WRAL allowed Perniciaro and his team to show both the glamour and grittiness of the Carolinas in the nineties.”
