Complete Netflix Athlete A | Official Trailer Trailer

VIDEO Netflix Athlete A | Official Trailer TV commercial 2020 • An August 2016 article in the Indianapolis Star about USA Gymnastics protecting coaches accused of abuse leads to the explosive revelation that the USAG women’s team doctor, Larry Nassar, had been abusing athletes for over two decades. This film follows the IndyStar reporters as they reveal the extensive cover-up that allowed abuse to thrive within elite-level gymnastics for more than two decades, the attorney who is fighting the institutions that failed these athletes, and most importantly, the brave whistle-blowers who refuse to be silenced. 00:06 USA! 00:09 USA! 00:13 USA! 00:18 I just wanted to call you. 00:20 I am very nervous, talking to you about it, 00:23 but I think it would help bring justice to the people 00:26 who have been affected by USA Gymnastics 00:28 and their policies. 00:30 This was the most explosive story in several years. 00:32 Yet it was coming out of a small little newsroom. 00:37 Larry Nassar had been the team doctor 00:38 for USA Gymnastics' women's program 00:41 for 29 years when we got these allegations about him. 00:44 I said, "He does this to you?" 00:45 She said, "Yeah. He does it to me, too." 00:48 I said, "We need to call the authorities." 00:50 Steve Penny, he said, "No. 00:52 USA Gymnastics will take care of calling the police." 00:56 USA Gymnastics, negotiating with Larry, 01:00 agreed to lie to people. That shows a cover-up. 01:03 Dealing with an organization 01:05 that didn't give a rat's ass about children. 01:07 We were going full bore. 01:10 Nassar wasn't our target. Our target was USA Gymnastics. 01:14 You are the president of USA Gymnastics. 01:16 If you receive a complaint of sexual misconduct, 01:18 do you turn it over to local authorities? 01:21 No. 01:23 We love winners in this country, 01:25 but this notion that we would sacrifice our young 01:29 to win disgusts us. 01:31 We were all made so obedient 01:33 that, when we knew there was a sexual abuser... 01:38 we would never say anything. 01:40 We felt utterly powerless. 01:48 USA Gymnastics, they are clinging to a process 01:51 that has been used to silence dissent. 01:59 If I don't do something about it... 02:03 I can't live with that. 02:18 If it's ever going to come out, it's going to come out now. 02:26 Your days of manipulation are over. 02:30 I'm here today with all these other women. 02:36 Not victims. Survivors. 02:47 We have the power now.- advertisement spot 2020
