Channel 4 & SBS investigate Reeva Steenkamp true crime docuseries

My Name is Reeva: I Was Murdered by Oscar Pistorius

UK broadcaster Channel 4 and Australia’s SBS have both picked up true crime documentary series My Name is Reeva: I Was Murdered by Oscar Pistorius.

Channel 4 has taken linear and SVOD rights to the Keshet International-distributed doc, which is now streaming on its All4 platform, while SBS is due to premiere the series today.

Produced by WB Productions in partnership with Cactus Tree Entertainment, Bloodrose Productions and Global City Group, the 3 x 60-minute series tells the true story of Reeva Steenkamp’s life and her murder at the hands of her then-boyfriend Oscar Pistorius on Valentine’s Day in 2013.

The show features exclusive access to Steenkamp’s parents as they endure a victim offender dialogue (VOD) with their daughter’s murderer, a condition of Pistorius’ recent request for early parole.

“I’m sure audiences will be as moved as I was to see the impact of the victim-offender dialogue on Reeva’s ageing parents and their on-going quest for justice,” said Kelly Wright, MD of distribution at Keshet International.
