Trailer For The Documentary BLINDSIDED About Michael Oher's Side of the "Blind Side" Story
CNN Flashdocs and MAX have released a trailer for their documentary feature Blindsided, which tells NFL player Michael Oher’s side of the story, which was tweaked and told in the movie, The Blind Side. In the acclaimed book and 2009 blockbuster film, the wealthy family of Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy brought Oher into their home and helped forge his path to the NFL. Now, Oher alleges that he was led to believe he was adopted, but in actuality, the Tuohys filed a conservatorship and made millions from a false narrative.
The documentary examines the claims the Tuohy family have made about adopting Oher for over a decade, casting scrutiny on the conservatorship they put in place which has now been terminated by a judge. Oher’s litigation with the Tuohys continues, with the latter filing a sworn document on November 8 that they paid Oher more than $138,000 in profits from the film. Oher is expected to file any counterclaims by the end of November.
Blindsided is available to stream today on November 16th on Max. Check out the trailer below:
