Stream The Life and Trials of Oscar Pistorius: How to stream the Oscar Pistorius documentary

Oscar Pistorius was born in South Africa. Doctors amputated both his feet when he was just 11 months old, due to a congenital defect. He eventually became one of the best-known Paralympians in the world. He even crossed over to become an Olympian, being just the tenth athlete to compete at both the Paralympic Games and Olympic Games. His fame skyrocketed; he became widely known as a hero and motivational figure nicknamed “The Blade Runner.”

But all that changed in February 2013. Pistorious was convicted of shooting and killing his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. He maintained in his trail he believed that Steenkamp was an intruder hiding in his bathroom. He fired four shots through the locked door—three of which hit Steenkamp, killing her. He remains in prison for the crime.

The four-part docuseries is the latest installment in ESPN’s 30 for 30 series. It follows up on the success of the Emmy award-winning Michael Jordan documentary, The Last Dance, which premiered earlier this year. Stream The Life and Trials of Oscar Pistorius exclusively on ESPN Plus starting on September 27. Viewers have the choice to watch the four serialized parts of the film live over four nights or to binge the entire film.

What’s on ESPN Plus?

ESPN+ is a platform for live sports as well as an archive for its original shows and its insightful documentaries. If you have cable, you can also access ESPN and ESPN2 programming through the platform, by signing in to your cable subscriber. You can also get a digital version of its popular SportsCenter show, rounding up sports news from around the planet.

Though ESPN+ is not a substitute for ESPN or ESPN2. You will still need a live TV streaming service for those channels to catch live sporting events. ESPN+ functions as an extension of ESPN’s website and its mobile app. Online, you’ll find it in the top-right corner of the navigation bar. When you’re logged in, all of ESPN+’s various features and original series will be unlocked for your viewing pleasure.

On ESPN’s mobile app, programs, and live streams that are exclusive to ESPN+ are noted by the ESPN+ logo—the E+ on a yellow background.

The service is a must if you’re a fan of Major League Baseball, soccer, hockey, or college sports. Subscribers get access to top sports leagues like MLB, NHL, MLS, and USL. There’s also access to college sports, English soccer, boxing matches, UFC fights, PGA golf, and more. That adds up to thousands of hours of live sports for less than a pint at your local bar.
