Steenkamp's parents Barry and June will be followed in the documentary, covering the lead-up to the trial, their willingness to forgive and fight for justice.
BBC Three's Channel Editor Sam Bickley commented: “BBC Three has a well-deserved, excellent reputation for award-winning, one-off current affairs programmes which manage to achieve incredible access to the big stories of the moment. Oscar Pistorius: The Truth – our second about this tragic case – doesn’t disappoint.”
Steve Anderson, Executive Producer, adds: “As one of the most high profile trials of recent years, we felt it important to bring the Steenkamps' story to BBC Three, which broadcast one of the first documentaries on the case, days after Reeva Steenkamp was killed. I believe we’ve managed to capture a poignant story thanks to the honesty and openness of Reeva’s parents.”
