Athlete A (2020)
Well-told and damning documentary about the sexual-molestation scandal in USA Gymnastics. It's one thing to hear about it on the news and another to actually hear the actual women -- who were children when abused -- speaking about what went on under the guise of "treatment." I'm constantly amazed by how much pedophiliac behavior is hushed-up by institutions. Every adult who knew and didn't do everything they could do to protect the minors in their care should not only be ashamed, they should be indicted.
Seriously. Fuck all institutions that cover this shit up. And especially fuck the pastors of the churches who transfer these problematic leaders rather than being actually on the side of God and those whom you have claimed as your "flock" by doing everything you can to make sure they cannot abuse again. You have done more damage than you can possibly know.
