This week, attorneys for Michael Oher filed three subpoenas to request documents from the production company behind the Oscar-winning film The Blind Side. The request comes on the heels of Oher’s claims that he was placed in the conservatorship with the Tuohys when he was 18 years and that he did not receive any money from the award-winning movie, which grossed $309 million on a $29 million budget.

Michael Harriot joins Karen Hunter to discuss the controversy.
