Oher's foster brothers and high school friend criticize the movie for inaccuracies, while Oher sues the Tuohy family over alleged misrepresentation of their relationship.

• New documentary 'Blindsided' challenges the portrayal of former NFL player Michael Oher in the movie 'The Blind Side', suggesting it exaggerated his poverty and education deficiency.
• Oher's foster brothers, Nate and Quwanda Hale, argue that the movie depicted events that did not occur, such as Oher never having had his own bed before moving in with the Tuohy family.
• Quinterio Franklin, a friend of Oher's from high school, criticized the movie for inaccurately portraying Oher as unable to read and write.
• Earlier this year, Oher sued the Tuohy family, alleging they misled him into believing they had adopted him, when he had actually entered into a conservatorship with them.
• The Tuohy family has maintained that Oher received an equal share of the proceeds from 'The Blind Side' movie.
