Great documentary. I liked how they recounted the editorial strategy of the newspaper. I wish they had spent a bit of time on the 1997 report to Michigan State University. Left in tears at the end because of the sheer number of girls assaulted over the years. It just indicates how much crime still goes completely unpunished.

How long and how many does it take to bring down one person?
heartfelt
Sports= athlete+coach+medicine+ money= manipulation of humans= robotnics
might sound weird, but at the top levels it has been like that for decades. this is the second documentary ive watched on the lawrence nassar case, and i sit back horrified again how this all could happen. that this has been disclosed is just lovely and it would never have happened unless the metoo wave came forward so thanks to them too. this documentary though goes even deeper into the material than the forementioned docu did, so it give far more than just an abstract to the case.
its an extremely touching and emotional personal documentary that goes far, but couldve gone even further, i will not be surprised if other similar cases will evolve in other sports in the near future, especially sports where the athletes are very young and drained unconscious by extremely hard training in young age, and in sports that where its natural to be bareskinned/halfnaked to perform, e.g competition swimming and diving.
this is a must see production for everyone even for the potential predators out there, cause ''we''ll be watching out for you. and to the active sportlers themselves, do confine or tell your close ones if there are things happening that you dont like or understand at your workout/gym/pool/track, because ''your life matters''.
its a truthfull and heartfelt recommend.
