How to Watch ‘Blindsided’ CNN’s Michael Oher Flash Documentary on Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku & Mobile
“The Blind Side” was an Oscar-winning, feel-good hit from the moment that it premiered in 2009. The Sandra Bullock-led film told the story of Super Bowl champion NFL lineman Michael Oher and how his difficult childhood led to his being adopted by the Tuohy family who helped him become a high school football star, before heading off to college at Ole Miss. However, recently, Oher himself has leveled damaging accusations at the Tuohy family, claiming that they never adopted him, but instead had him placed in a conservatorship and used that to take money that rightfully should belong to him. In the latest CNN FlashDoc, ‘Blindsided,” journalists explore all sides of the story to get down to the bottom of what actually happened to this fractured family.

About 'Blindsided' CNN's Michael Oher Flash Documentary
Many are familiar with former NFL lineman Michael Oher’s story as told in the acclaimed book and blockbuster film “The Blind Side” in which 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. Produced by the CNN FlashDocs unit, “Blindsided,” available to stream this Thursday, Nov. 16 on Max, exposes the truth behind the Hollywood spin on Oher’s story.
When it premiered in 2009, The Blind Side earned more than $300 million at the box office, earned actress Sandra Bullock an Oscar, and became the No. 1 opening weekend for a sports film in history. CNN FlashDocs’ “Blindsided” explores the story behind the film, and features first-person accounts from people close to Oher, including his foster brothers, former caregivers, high school classmates, and teammates from Ole Miss and the NFL. Quinton Aaron, the actor who played Oher in “The Blind Side,” also gives his perspective on his portrayal in the film 14 years after its record-breaking premiere.
“Blindsided” 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 Nov. 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.
