What: 30 for 30: "The Life and Trials of Oscar Pistorius," a four-part film directed by Daniel Gordon and produced by Academy Award winner John Battsek.
Where: ESPN+
Paralympic track star Oscar Pistorius captured global attention after winning the right to compete against athletes without disabilities at the 2012 Olympics in London.
Born on Nov. 22, 1986, in Johannesburg, Pistorius became a double amputee at 11 months, when both of his legs were amputated just below the knee. Pistorius was born with fibular hemimelia.
Nicknamed "Blade Runner," the South African athlete's global fame came after his dominance at the 2004 and 2008 Paralympic Games and participation in the 2012 Olympic Games as the first amputee runner to compete at an Olympics. In 2013, he shot and killed his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, and he was sentenced to prison in 2014 for culpable negligence. The homicide trial captured global media attention and became one of the most shocking rise-and-fall stories in sports. Pistorius was eventually sentenced to prison for the murder of Steenkamp in 2016.
