Join Monroe County NOW and special guests for a panel discussion on the Netflix film Athlete A on Wednesday, December 9, at 7:30pm. Athlete A is a documentary about an August 2016 article in the Indianapolis Star concerning sexual abuse in USA Gymnastics involving team doctor Larry Nassar. The film follows 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 survivors who refuse to be silenced.

We are asking participants to view the film prior to the event. The film is exclusively on Netflix at this time. You can view the trailer for the film at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzeP0DKSqdQ. You can access the film at https://www.netflix.com/title/81034185 or any streaming device.
