Oscar Pistorius's family is taking legal action against the Lifetime film company that has produced a film on the fatal shooting of Reeva Steenkamp by Oscar Pistorius on Valentine's Day in 2013 as well as the court case that surrounded his trial. The film, titled Oscar Pistorius: Blade Runner Killer, is due for release in the United States on 11 November. The Pistorius family has claimed that they were not consulted and the film was contrary to the findings of the court. The family also believes that the film is not a true reflection of what happened on the day when Oscar shot and killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. For more on this we are joined in studio by Oscar's brother Carl Pistorius.
