He discovers the truth 20 years later: only days left to watch this true story on Netflix

In 2010, The Blind Side hit our screens, a powerful and moving film about a young black American who finds his way through the love of his adoptive father and his talent for football. That year, Sandra Bullock won her first (and only) Oscar for her role as Leigh Ann Tuohy, who welcomes a schoolgirl home.

This Michael Oher that the movie talks about really exists. After a difficult childhood and a troubled school career, she thought she had found the perfect foster home when she met the Tuohys. His story has everything of a fairy tale: a high school student signs with prestigious universities and American football teams, starts to earn a little money and is finally able to take freedom. ..

But 20 years later, disillusionment sets in when he discovers that his adoptive family took advantage of him. A twist we’ll tell you about in this episode of our podcast It’s a True Story, which tells the true but lesser-known stories behind your favorite movies and TV shows.

The Blind Side leaves Netflix on March 31st.
